Folks,

This was going to take place this week, and it's now... what... Sunday??!!  Well, us elves are busy this time of year..... :-D

But the big work is done, meaning making sure the backup (in case anything goes wrong, almost an impossibility, right?    :cry:  ) works.  I was on a bike forum, it crashed, the backup didn't work, and the whole site pretty much died.

So..... here's a complete, totally independent copy of this forum, created from a backup: 

http://www.landracing2.com/index.php

Note it's 'landracing2.com' and is a couple days old.  If some members could copy and paste that URL into a fresh browser, then check it out, that'd be great.  I thought there should be more photos, but I did find some that looked ok.  The ones I wonder about are the ones that are included as attachments (rather than web links like to Photobucket).  The ones put up using the "Additional Options" feature at the bottom of the post.

Anything done over there will NOT be saved.... it'd just be nice to get some other eyes to make sure the backup worked.

Then it's time to take the forum down for a day and do it to it.

Many thanks,
Bob the Web Elf

Bill, that's where Jerry Berry lives.  Bob lives in the harsh metro area known as BF, New Mexico.

What thread is that?  I searched but couldn't find anything promising.

Great.... the Landracing2 should be a copy of the old forum, though a few days old.  I had to be sure a backup was valid before messing with the 'real' forum.  I was on one forum, it crashed, the backup was 'bad'.... all lost.  I don't wanna do that.   :-o

So ... delayed again, probably next week.  But it's getting closer, and I have a warm fuzzy feeling about the backup, which I hope I don't have to use.   :-D

Boy, that new font is sure using up a bunch of my monitor's ink supply.

No problem, Stan.  Just ask Anders to use his 3D printer to print some ink cartridges for your monitor.  Then he can email a picture of it to you and you just hafta display it on your monitor for ten or fifteen seconds and everything will be all right for a long time again.

See how easy it is?

I am wondering why the posts that I make about Jack's Garage

never appear under the listing of "unread posts since last visit."

It's the same thing with the posts related to our Target 550 entry.

I don't think your own posts appear on the "Unread Posts" list.
