New host and new $$ problem. PLEASE READ EVERYONE

[VinceAtReal4x4s]

Well it's been a huge pain to get all this done but we are finally hosted on a much better and reliable system. Large pics should work great now and you might notice the pages are loading faster. There may be a few bugs to work out but so far it's better.

I came close to giving up on this whole thing over the last week. I have run this forum since 1999 and sometimes it's very tough to keep it going due to the headaches behind the scenes... Hackers, spammers, bizarre software issues, software updates, hosts deteriorating and no longer offering assistance, the fees, social media taking over, and so on.

This week, I have spent $250 out of pocket for the new hosting fees plus I had to hire a software specialist to make sure it all got transferred properly. This is a lot of cash to me and to be blunt, I need it back from you guys. I don't think I ever directly asked for money in all these years but since we don't have a sponsor anymore, I'm doing it now.

If the info here has saved you money and headaches over the years, or if you sold a significant item here, then please consider at least $25, if not more. We have less active members these days so whatever you do will make a big difference.

There are a handful of guys here that have always helped out so I'm not asking anything of them. To everyone else, I'd appreciate what you can do. I take paypal, which is linked at the top of each page, or you can PM me for other methods (Venmo, Zelle or I'll take a check or money order.)

With this new host, we should be in much better shape and will be around for a long time.

Thanks! Vince

Donation inbound! C'mon guys. this forum is very valuable to all of us. Even if we don't post frequently, the "library" of information stored in the tech files is of great value.

I'll second that !! Try searching for a fix on the FB forum -- good luck with that.
