Ah! Help out the Internet Idiot here…do I need to do anything? Reset my bookmark? Change URL to get here? Or is this just a physical change onto a new computer at the offices that I won’t notice (after the expected time down where one server is unplugged or bumpy time-out filled adjustment period, of course.) Basically, how is this about ME? 😃 ---

If you look in the announcement you will see a Jerry included a different shortcut if you are having a problem.

So, what’re the plans for the old server? How about donating it to the Teeming Millions – we have a big 'ol DopeFest where go all go Office Space on the damn thing? ---

On the last one I did notice that the usual time outs were happening when making a post. Looking forward to see is that is no longer an issue. ---
