I want to thank all who helped in the server move. Though I don't post a lot, I read ppcgeeks many times a day. I was going through withdrawal over the weekend, not be able to get into the forums. I don't know if this has been discussed before, but have you thought of having a "premium membership" like they do at sprintusers? It would give us members a way to donate money on an ongoing basis to help defray the cost of running ppcgeeks. I would be willing to donate on an ongoing basis to help the board. Perhaps others would too. If you can set it up using a paypal subscription, so much the better. Just my 2 cents. Thanks again for all your hard work!

I know vBulletin has a paid subscription feature that uses PayPal, among other providers. It might be something to consider in the future.

I was in the same boat as you. I didn't really post a whole lot but I love this place and I wanted to help out. I spent all morning tweaking the new server and getting things setup

Thanks mindfrost82 and Mike for all the work involved on doing this!

A couple of things I noticed so far... links on posts do not seem to work, but I assume this is due to the propagation and it will be fixed after we no longer need the IP address.

Also, there used to be a navigation tool at the bottom of every page, it was a dropdown menu with all the forums... it was very useful and I hope it can be brought back

1) You're right about the links. Anything that points to a ppcgeeks.com URL will not work until the DNS servers are updated. Once I get the info from Mike, it usually takes a couple hours.

2) I will turn the ForumJump menu back on. I turned it off when we were on the last server because it causes a bigger load on the server. It looks like we don't have to worry about that on this one, so it'll be back on in a minute

good work on the upgrade guys, funny how I never saw the owner around here, and I do a ton of reading.
