Re: Status of Forums / Plans Going Forward

Hi Jeff-sounds good! Thanks for continuing to keep OTD alive and available. It's a shame circumstances dictate amendments/upgrades but that's technology I guess.

If I can help I'd be happy to...but I'm no I.T. guru I'm afraid....

Regular OTD/CT follower,
Steve

: Over the last few days we have had significant technical issues
: with both ChronoTrader and the OTD Discussion Forum.

: Current status is as follows: ChronoTrader has been repaired and
: restored, and seems to be operating satisfactorily On this OTD
: Discussion Forum -- All messages have been restored, but the
: dates of the postings are not correct and the number of views
: has been reset to zero. We are working to address both these
: issues, but in the meanwhile, the forum is operating properly,
: in terms of posting and replying to messages Profile issues --
: we have had some recent issues regarding Profiles, and are
: working on the solution

: Most importantly, these technical issues have made it 100% clear
: that we need to migrate to a new forum software package, as soon
: as reasonably possible, and we are exploring the best
: alternatives. Of course, the critical issue will be migrating
: all the OTD discussion forum postings, so that we continue to
: have this wealth of information available for the community. A
: robust "Search" feature will be critical in the
: selection of the new software package.

: Thanks to everyone for the continued support, as we have faced
: these technical challenges. Looking forward to a great future
: for this community, supported by a modern discussion forum.

: Jeff
