While the new software has been purchased, getting it installed seems to be a problem. The programmer that was originally going to take care of it is no longer in the picture so another programmer will have to come on board. I’ll add that all these problems started with the original programmer condensing the code which has been an issue ever since. Once the new software is installed, then hopefully the forum will be up and running as originally designed. For the time being, Jim has simply been rebooting the system which allows it to come back to life. If he doesn't see the problem early in the morning, then the site can be down for the day until he can access it.
Here’s a link to another thread on the subject but essentially doesn’t say anything new.
