this evening - June 5, 2023
(our live streaming cams and the hancockwildlife.org website will not be affected)
Hi everyone! As you may have noticed, the forum has been sort of slow some of the time lately, taking longer than usual to open a thread or to import an attachment or to submit your post.
We (meaning our tech person, David Hathaway) has found a few things that should help, and he's planning to do the first one this evening. As you may know, the forum is huge - more than 650.000 posts and well over a million attachments - so it will take some time to run the update.
We are hoping the forum will be back online sometime tomorrow morning - but even though the test run went smoothly, it might take a bit longer than that. If we have additional updates, I'll be posting them on my WildlifeCamWatch website, which is sort of an emergency contact place for when this forum is down. The link to the update thread is is https://www.wildlifecamwatch.com/viewto ... 1632#p1632 in case you'd like to bookmark it; you don't need to be a member to read the updates.
Thanks for your patience as we work on this! Please feel free to share this announcement on other threads - I'll try to post on some of the more active threads, but need to leave soon, so am likely to miss some.
If the forum is going to be down longer than expected, I'll unlock wildlifecamwatch.com so those who wish to contact me or each other can join and post or use the pm system there. You can also email me at [email protected] or my private email which many of you know.
