Thanks for the information.
Will a mass email go out at the time of the Big Move to let both active and inactive members know that there's a new forum? |

The (current) JREF Forum will be transferred to new hardware. This will require downtime expected to be 3 to 6 hours but may be longer. It’s hoped that this stage will occur before Sept 9, 2014. The site will remain under the ownership of the JREF and day to day control will remain with the current moderation team.

Any new technical admins will be announced as per usual and their roles will be limited to technical matters rather than moderation. One down.... |

Looking around, I see that someone swept the floors here in the new home of the forum before we moved in.
Very nice, very efficient move. Hearty congratulations to the team. (This post duplicates a post in the thread "Future of the Forum," now that the future has arrived.) |

Hi Guys, sorry if this has been said elsewhere, but do we know when the new forum will be up and running? From several comments above, it sounds like it should be up now (in some form or other), but I just get a "Web site is under construction" message (At 'http://www.internationalskeptics.com/')

Yeah, that looked like it went really smooth. And it's pretty fast now, too. Well, it already was quite a bit faster after you folks finally looked into it, but now...
Great work! Greetings, Chris |

Posting this here because I can't bring up the forum to find the thread for glitches. Here's what I get when I click on the "new posts" link:
Fatal error: Memcache is not installed in [path]/includes/class_datastore.php on line 186 I have no idea if that's important. |
