Though it took forever, and many bottles of Excedrin, there is finally a complete working setup for Invision. No more glitches... no troubles.... it finally all works perfectly.

We also have found a way to greatly simplify what you need to do to get it working correctly. A new "first time" login link will be used, and when you login it will redirect you (logged in) to the new board. You will, however, have to use this, even if you have previously set your stuff up on Invision.

The domain names will be redirected in the next 48 hours or so.

Bear with us, the end is in sight.

All boards WILL be converted, running, and 100% functional by the end of tomorrow.

WE PROMISE.

- Today our Datacenter announced that it had undergone some large network outages due to a very sophisticated DoS attack launched against their network. Their top network engineers working around the clock to counteract these attacks and eliminate their effect on their network.

We apologize for the inconveniences caused on the network segments effected by these attacks and we will work as long as it takes to come to a resolution on these issues. We thank you for your patience and not only are we aware of what's going on but were well under way to resolving it when attempts to reach us were made.

I apologize for the gripe assaults. From now on though I think we should use the email feature to notify everyone of any scheduled outages.
