Title: Sorry about the hard break, guys...
Post by: JPotter57 on 2022-04-05 16:48
Apparently a firewall I had installed back in 2017 didnt like a recent upgrade. It took me a while of running through error logs and finding a fix without losing any data, posts, members, etc, but I got it, and it works. Hope you guys like the new look, I also had to upgrade the forum as the old one was slated to not receive new developments.  We were using 2.0.18, and the new version, 2.1 had come out at Christmas. The newest version of it, 2.1.1 came in at the end of February, so I went ahead and moved to it. Unfortunately, the appearance changed a little, but I can live with it for the better functionality.

Spread the word...its good to be back.
Just a side note on my health condition:
I was released from dialysis monday before last, saw my doctor on wednesday, then got to go back to work on last monday.  Got my central line port removed on Friday. I feel great and am beginning to be able to do things again.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, it was a difficult time for my family.

Awesome work James! we all appreciate your efforts on this. I had to log back in, of course, took a few tries, but here I am.
PS...silver lining: I lost my lead in the smite category, lol. and the clock needs resetting.

Funny how much you miss something, when you can`t access for a few days, glad it is up and running. And James, glad to hear you are up and running, (or at least walking! :003: ) as well!

Sounds like a we should have all bought stock in the Bayer Aspirin Co. Cause I bet you ate a lot of them getting this mess squared away.
Great news on the health issue as well! Has to make life a little less...or a LOT less stressful.
Thanks for the dogged work to fix us up...and great to hear you are back on the road to health.

James so happy to see you and the site are on the mend.  It is hard to understand what you are going through then put the "crash" on top!  I'm just so happy you are up and running!

Thanks so much for all that you do to keep this website going.  It is by far my favorite "Old Ford" website. 

And also so glad to hear you are on the mend and continue to wish the best for you.

No problem at all - we enjoy the site, and while I am still just a "lurker" at this time I do appreciate all the contributions. I have asked a question or two on here about Y Blocks and the fellas on this site tend to be guys who are down to earth and helpful. thank you for maintaining it.

James
  Thank you for getting the site back up and running again. I certainly did miss it and usually check it every day, even though I don't always respond like I used to years ago.   I'm happy to hear that you are on the mend, but I'll keep praying for you.
   Thank you and Rich for putting your heads together and getting me hooked up.
Jay
