Just a reminder that the move to the new platform will happen tomorrow starting at 7am PT. The site will be offline for ~6-8 hours as data migrates and the new forum is built. If we hit a snag that...

Testing continues to go well and has uncovered a few little items that are easy to fix now that I know what they are and where the settings are hidden. I've confirmed with our hosting provider they...

After the new test account changed servers this morning, I was able to complete the test migration. It went well and has inspired confidence for next Sunday's move. Thus far, testing has only...

When planning a release, the disadvantage of full disclosure along the way is slips become very public and can foster a lack of confidence. Well, I'm fostering more of that today :)

After...

I haven't seen anyone say they aren't coming. I've seen respectful comments questioning both the energy infrastructure's ability to support the planned timelines of the UK government and GM, and the...

The youtube issue should now be fixed. It turns out that the code was using http when after switching to the new hoster we finally added an SSL certificate and it needed that changed to https.

And I never thought I would be the first to use it here. :(

The Birkin Mustang is in Groton, CT. See if this link works. If not, go to the search results page that Croc provided and expand the search area from 50 miles from D.C. to 500 miles. The Birkin...

We're >8" of snow now with another front set to arrive at 4am, bringing more snow through early afternoon. That means even if power is up tomorrow at 7am, there is a decent chance we could have a...

Thanks Henry. Can anyone recall seeing a youtube video working since the migration to the new hoster on 1/31? If not, then it's likely related to that migration and I'll open a ticket.

It looks...

I did. They love snow and are built for it. I just tried to embed a short video to prove it, but it didn't work. Hmm... Going back to older posts with embedded youtube videos shows them either...

We are getting hit with a snowstorm in the Seattle area. It's expected to continue throughout today with more coming tomorrow morning. Given the soil is very saturated, there is a chance that trees...

Rumors are that Bessie has an evil stepsister. She could well make an appearance in the future...

We are at T-2 for the big move. I'll post another update tomorrow, but want to share a little...

And if you think that's bad folks, you should have read the original :)

SENC, let's just say that if you noticed the site was a little slower than normal for 30 minutes before that post, it wasn't your imagination. That kind of editing puts a serious tax on our server...

Nothing that glamorous. I edit all of Croc’s communications to ensure they result in neither litigation, public censure, nor involuntary confinement in a foreign country. He is a prolific writer...

Compared to my real job, this has been kind of relaxing and slow paced :)

As some of you noticed, the site was offline for about 4 hours yesterday. This was not planned and was due to an issue within our vBulletin code. Our new hosting company identified and corrected...

I just added an update to the initial post and repeating it here for awareness. The avatar dimensions (called Profile Photo in Invision) are different than on vbulletin and may look strange...

It's a new feature that started cropping up for some of us a couple of weeks ago. Given we're switching forums in a little over a week, there has been no point investigating why it started happening...

Not sure I had mentioned this earlier, but the new hoster is in the UK. I was a little worried moving overseas during the investigation phase, but was ultimately convinced it wouldn't be an issue. ...

Some random issues with image posting began cropping up a while ago, and are not consistently hitting all users. That double image post (it's an inline plus same-sized thumbnail) hit me a couple of...

Max, you have PM :)

Is that your Elan? If so, that means there are at least 3 of us on here with yellow FHCs.

That's what I meant, hence the term simpletons' machines :) So to summarize, se7ens are simple, but their owner are complex, and modern Porsches are complex, but their owners are simpletons. Owners...
