    In next couple days we will be taking the galleries and attachments off line

    we are working on some performance enhancements for the server

    We need to move the pictures, attachments and other graphics offline to be able to package the account and move it - we will concentrate on minimizing the impact on the forum - but the galleries and attachments take up so much space we will have to take them off line for a few hours to a day or 2

    This will likely happen this weekend.

    Is there a risk of losing anything?

    We moved NHTOC to a new higher performance server
    The forum on the old server is OFF - this is the new server

    If you have friends that cant connect have them reboot

    We will work on restoring the galleries and attachments today and tomorrow

    Clearing cookies shouldnt be needed
    If he is going to the CLOSED forum then the issue is with his ISP - they have not updated his DNS yet

    If he pings nhtoc.com he should see 208.100.29.10 if he is seeing anything else its because his DNS hasnt updated

    He can try ipconfig /flushdns from a command prompt but that rarely does anything

    eventually it will fix itself

    AOL is famous for slow dns UPDATES
    AOL is EVIL
