    You have a Trump U degree? And here we all thought you were happy being a h.s. dropout. Congratulations, Jack! How much did it cost you?

    4. And of course no response from JPP server
    5. Sometimes when you hit post you get the endless spinning circle, then it throws up a query box asking you if you want to leave the page or not. If you say "yes" and then hit refresh, your post will show up.

    That must be why his brain is so rotten. Poor guy indeed.

    I always click no. Your post gets posted anyway with no double posts.

    Of course make sure to copy your post. I always made that mistake.

    Good point! Nothing like typing out a totally scathing, witty, or insightful post only to have to vanish into cyberspace, never to be seen again. lol

    TDS is malignant. No matter how nice they are, it spreads through their cells like ketchup at a 4th of July party.

    I have decided it will help us if we have a bit more bandwidth and memory as well as some upgraded software. We are also moving to the Cloud for better backup, etc.

    I hope this isn't too much of an issue, and that it actually migrates better than it has in the past (often they just forget the databases and cause some time lapse).

    Know that the site is not going down forever, at the very least I will have a database copy just before I shut it down that I can use to bring stuff back into service if they hose this up for me.

    Thanks for your patience.
    A little over 6 hours from now. I hear screaming and gnashing of teeth.
