I'm pretty new here but this site has answered lots of questions, some of which I didn't know I had until I read a post. $20 is coming your way via PayPal. Thanks rabtech!
The best group of people that you will ever meet.

Tom Welcome to the "World of Slingshot Insanity".
Thanks everyone, I and agree this is a great group of people. I just wish there were more Albuquerque / NM folks.
give it time.
OK just a reminder...
If I did my time zone conversion correctly.

The site will be down for a while. It will take several hours just to move the data.

Display MoreI just wanted to let everyone know why the upgrade and migration is happening. Basically we have outgrown the largest shared host plan that the host provides. I have just purchased dedicated server hosting and now I can allocate as much space as needed in the future with the new dedicated platform.
This job is a bit more delicate than just building up an empty forum, Everyone and every post is very important to me. This means I had to have someone that would do the job perfectly. I have contracted with the creator of this forum software to do this migration and upgrade.
One of the things that has bugged me for a while is the fact that I haven't switched to the new version of this forum. The reason is mainly because the little things (plugins) that have been added to this forum over time were not available for the new version. The new software It is quite a bit different than the older framework so they will be helping me perform this major upgrade once they move the site to the server.
I will say this now... Some of the "plugins" that you guys might love on this site MAY not be available on the new forum software. But I have checked and most are available. I believe the things you will gain by this upgrade will more than makeup for the loss of any features that may occur.
I hope everyone understands now what will be taking place and why.
RABTECH

Thanks rabtech I know it will be right when you get done
You dont have to read all the long quote entries now either .
I can’t get the whole “old dog new trick” thing outta my head but I’ll get there

I do not know that this will delete the conversation. Close just locks it, yes with a lock. Then you have "HIDE" which at least makes it disappear off of your list. "LEAVE" does just that, leaves it on the list. Nothing there to 'DELETE" the conversation from stored memory
I will check it now.
rabtech - do you still need to turn on the email notifications? I'm not getting any
You should be getting notifications now. I had to make a change on my side. It looks like they are going out now.
thank you sir
rabtech thanks for all the effort you put into this site, those without an IT background often don't realize how tedious it can be to maintain a site(depending on your host,cms etc) so thank you for it.
I have just one request, before the switch we used to have a short cut for "unread post" that was right next to "forums" on the main bar, this was quite convenient for mobile (non app) users.
Now this shortcut is located under a sub menu which is tedious to keep going after the 3rd time, this would help people like me who don't have the time to read every thread but rather just focus on the hot topics of the moment which are always at the top of unread post.
