Seems a lot of stuff going back to late December is gone.

The format is in flux these days.  Experimentation as we read.  I see a different login and header right now than I did this morning sooooo.   Someone is playing with the look.  They may have clicked on something they should not have and wiped the history away.  Or, OR  it didn't follow with the new setup. 

I will be patient with them as they poke at things trying to get it just right.  Hopefully they are not OCD and will leave it alone at some point. 

My two cents less one.

More looking shows we lost days at the end of Dec and we only have four days worth of content from Jan 1 till now.  So something ate our content.  Could it be the dog?  Do they even like digital data?  Well if you put enough gravy on it they will eat anything, I mean they are dogs.

Seems like sometime in Dec.  Things started to look different here and there.  I have had a few messages to the admins about stuff that isn't working.  They are trying to steer a long ship here I guess.  Just look at it this way.  Something new every so often makes us curious about what will come next.

A few of my topics are just plain gone. Either I'm losing my mind or they've been deleted. The one about using an injection pump for a pop tester and high pressure/low pressure injector compatibility. Whatever is going on, it stinks. There was some good info for me on those and I was using it and now it's gone.

Yeah, most of that discussion is gone.  Not sure why, not sure it will be back.  If you need some specific information send me a PM and I will reply, and that way you don't need to set up another question.  Just in case your original finds its way home here later.

Yes, our apologies.

We were trying to get the forum on a more secure and stable server, but unfortunately, the forum platform (at least the current version) has been a bit more fragile than originally expected. This required us to point things back at the old server and, thus, the missing posts.

We are done modifying things for the time being to avoid more interruptions, but the forum will likely still be moved at some point in the future, but not before extensive testing beforehand.

I find it sort of funny that our administrator is considered a NEWBIE on this site. 

Should that be scary?

Patience pays with this sort of thing.  I have learned that first hand with the internet.

Who's a newbie? What?  ;D

I thought I saw NEWBIE in place of Veteran under your title.  I swear it did.  Otherwise, I would not have said anything. 

OR?????  is someone invoking his superpowers to change the registration date to be N/A thus maybe changing what I saw the other night?    Hmmmm
