Donation Acknowledgement

Chuck, Julien D maintains the forum server. He told me last week that he is well aware the website needs to be "refreshed." However, he's not been able to get to it. He expressed hope that he can / will soon.

I was wondering the server hosting situation myself. I believe it's paid out of the forum owner's pocket with donations reimbursing a portion of that.

It seems to be a little bit glitchy lately, sometimes very slow, sometimes security certificate issues where I can't view the forum without checking a box every time I navigate to another page clicking that I acknowledge I may be at risk.

At some point later this year I would be in a position to potentially donate a good chunk to upgrade the host server &/or software to avoid these issues and make things more reliable.

You're exactly right, Chuck. The certificate errors are always my bad. I have to renew them every 30 days and I often forget. The slowness I have been trying to figure out for a while. It's an SQL issue, but I can't quite nail it down. My current plan is to just migrate to a new and updated server, but that's a couple day commitment for time, and I haven't had the time to spend on it yet. I will get there as soon as I can.

Thank you for all you do, Julien!

I know very little about that sort of server hosting technology or upkeep, I'm glad you do!

Keep us posted, and thanks in advance!
