I just posted a message on Facebook inviting some of my friends to come over and check the place out. If you're one of them, and haven't been here in a while, welcome back, I hope you like the improvements.
First of all, if you're having any trouble logging in, send me a PM on Facebook and we'll get your account straightened out. I can reset passwords, fix out of date e-mails and even change your user name. You can also use the forum's private message system once you're logged in.
So what's changed? We're on a new faster server! Now hosted by Bluehost in Provo, UT. If the building had windows, the server would have a view of the old D&RGW Provo yard, it's right across the street. So that's kinda cool.
They've been very helpful in getting things running fast. The software is updated to the latest version. We have also installed SSL (https) so there won't be any "site is not secure" error messages.
Uploading photos is now super simple. You don't have to re-size the photos. If you can upload to Facebook, you can upload here. It works the same way. You can even use the "paste" command to insert your image into your message.
Do you have Youtube videos you want to share? It couldn't be simpler. Just post the URL. The forum automatically embeds the video, and of course members can click on it to view it full size on Youtube.
I've spent about a month migrating things over and getting everything secure and up to date. We've tested things out pretty thoroughly, but if you see any problems, speak up!
Don't have a membership yet? That's easy to fix. Registration is very simple and quick. Pick a user name, password, and tell us your e-mail address. That's it. There is no fee of any kind, no "premium subscription" no monthly fees. It's all free. You can also look around as much as you like before you register, forum content can be viewed by anyone.
