 Site Upgrade!!!
News About the Site As I am sure many have noticed the site has gone, more or less, without an update for some time now. Well, truth be told I have been working on a move and upgrade.

I was told by our provider that they were closing down just after the first of the year due to problems at the hosting site. The search was on for a new home!! I ended up going with godaddy.com. Once the new provider was selected I began the task of moving all of our content (articles, pictures, etc) as well as the software the actually powered the site. After the move was completed I started to look at upgrading things as it had been some time since that had been done. There are a few visual changes when looking at the "new" site but things are, more or less, the same. Rest assured that even though the paint looks almost the same all the stuff under the hood is shiny and new.

In the future I would like to revisit the site design and color scheme as well as add some more content. That, however, will have to wait till after the holidays. Stay tuned.

By the way. As I had to take some time to update the site what is here today is based on an older (about 4 weeks old) snapshot of the previous site. If you changed a password in that time it will not be here. Logon with the old password and re-change it. As such posts in the forums in that time would not have made the transition. Sorry about all that folks!!

 Picture Gallery Status
News About the Site

Well folks the picture gallery is pretty much completed.  I have a couple of things to go.  First is a few more shots of Carl Casper's 05 from a fellow member I have sitting in my in-box, second is the rest of the gallery of my TA.  We even have our first Fiero over in the Member's Garage.  As of today the counts are: 3 top-level albums (52 total), 360 images.  In other words, a lot of work!!

 Site Picture Gallery
News About the Site I have posted my Carl Casper’s pictures over in the Picture Galley. Stop in and take a look. On that note I am working on recovering the rest of the original, pre crash, photo gallery. I am going through the directories one by one and checking all of the images. Many of them are OK, but quite a few are missing pictures, have corrupted pictures, or are totally trashed. In those cases I am going back to my originals and re-making the pictures.

 The site is ramping back up!
News About the Site I took some do’ in but things are on their way back. The crash was, in a word, horrendous. Much was lost and will have to be recreated by hand. The basic site function is back. Forums, calendar, software to present basic information, picture gallery, etc. The framework is there but most everything will have to be recreated for what raw data we were able to save. Bear with me. In other words, sit tight, spend time in the forums staying in touch with you fellow online car enthusiasts and let me work on things as I can. Keep “can we have..” or “what happened to..” questions to a minimum if not non existent.

And yes, you have to re-register your ID. Sorry, the user database was trashed.

Thanks,
Brent
