If all goes as planned, we will be moving to a new machine the weekend of August 16 OR August 23. This will result in a forum closure for that weekend. The site should be back up sometime the following Monday.

We will let you know closer to time which date is correct, but this is the best we can do to give you advance notice.

Those of you that access the site via the IP address instead of the domain name will be lost. Please update your bookmarks to reflect the domain instead

A forewarning because I know you seldom read the Announcements. Holler if you need help.

Also remember that we do have an extra chicken coop on Yahoo for just such emergencies. Let me know (by PM) if you need access to the Yahoo site.

Oh,oh,oh! I can get in the chicken coop now! Ok, withdrawals will be much lighter now. This outage is worth it, we will have faster service!

hmmm. maybe we'd better plan another chick meet for that weekend so that we don't have such terrible withdrawal???

I would love to get together with you again. I am leaving for VA on the 20th tho

come on a my house, a my house, come on. :))))

When we come back up, we'll have a few new things on the site. All recipes are being moved to a recipe database which is searchable. We're expanding our food reviews to include other products, although we may not have personal reviews for them. The setup will be similar to the ePinions site, but it's all diet and fitness related.

The forum will get a makeover, too Custom styles, however, will be removed, and the forum will look the same to everyone. We havse to do this in order to allow for some coding revisions.

If anybody needs anything while we are down, you can e-mail me at [email protected] . I can forward mail to Suzanne if you need her. I would post her e-mail address, but it is really freaky and I don't want you all to get bad ideas about her!
