Pro Boards' server host will be performing network maintenance tonight between 9pm and 1am - Pacific time. They expect this forum may be offline for 15 minutes during that time.
If you encounter any problems later tonight or early tomorrow, please report them on this thread.

Things seem to be running smoother today ... much smoother, in fact.
Maybe the server maintenance was just what we needed.

Beth, Men an tol here. This is a question that I don't know where else to ask. I am also a member of 'Lets Talk Politics' you know, Marsha's board. As of yesterday morning it has been un-accessible with the note of being down for maintenance. It is still down. I do not know how to contact anyone in authority to ask what is going on. I'm guessing that either I have been dropped (as an individual), or the board is no longer in existence, or it actually is down for maintenance.
I know that you are a member (or were) and I was wondering if you could just check and see if it is available to you. If not, how do we find out what is going on?
If it is down (and not coming back up) I would be willing to contact the members there to consider moving here, but I cannot get to the member's list.

I am also a member of that board and know that lately it has been extremely inactive. I will go and visit it to see if service has been restored.

I have tried to log on and received the message that the forum is in maintenance mode and that currently only staff members are able to access it

Well, here's the thing, Randy, "maintenance mode" is a shut down the admin/owner of a site can create. It's often done when a board is closing and the owner wants to still keep the option of reopening without losing content. IF Marsha has it on maintenance, it can be one of 2 things ... she's bringing it down OR she's in the process of the V5 change over and wants to close it to members and guests until she has a chance to set things up the way she wants them. Do you have her phone number or email? I'll be happy to call her or email her if you don't want to. Marsha and I don't agree on politics but otherwise we do fine. Let me know and keep your fingers crossed she's just shuffling things around. Oh wait. I do have her email and I'll see if I can get in touch that way.

You look like you're in a body bag or something. It's disconcerting.

My apologies, Beth I will follow your advice. But I have noticed recently that the forum has been extremely quiet and that even Marsha has not been visiting it lately.

Several forums are in a kind of semi-dormant stage right now. I think v5 has been especially hard on many.

It took us quite a time to master it and without the sterling work of Hunny and Sadie I am not sure if we would have survived the transition!

It took us quite a time to master it and without the sterling work of Hunny and Sadie I am not sure if we would have survived the transition! Oh I can relate. V5 is a major conversion. We struggled along, and Moon was a great help as she had gone through it earlier than we did. We lost some people who couldn't seem to adjust to the changes, plus we had to fix and re-fix to install plug-ins and get rid of the massive amount of social networking set-up that we had no intention of using. I'll try to get in touch with Marsha after while (after supper) and see what's going on with her. We little guys can't fight it. It's a done deal. Have to say, though, there are lots of things about it I like now that I've gotten used to it better.

Beth, please do contact Marsha as I would really like to know what is going on. My email (rherod@mchsi.com) is in my profile and she can contact at any time.
Just a few minutes ago I tried going there and it has a message that Proboards has shut it down. I would also like to contact Doc, but I lost his email and if she can put us together I would appreciate it.
Randy

Ok. I, also, got the "blue bear" screen and the shut down message.
I sent her email about 20 minutes ago. As soon as she gets back with me, I'll give her your address. If she doesn't reply by in the morning, I'll send her your email with a subject line telling her what to expect.

I also told her if she needed any help with LTP or anything at all we'd do our best to get her what she needs.
