Status of Forums / Plans Going Forward

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.
