Todd has been working long and hard all day to install a new version of the message system, that includes security upgrades. This has required him to basically have to recode everything, thus the reason for occasional error messages and the absence of certain features, like the left hand column. He's working at a feverish pace to get everything back up to speed and added back to the site.

I'd just like to express my appreciation not only for his financial contributions to this site, but also for his time committment.

Well said, Patrick!! I think Todd is doing an excellent job.

I can handle site down time for improvements. I have enjoyed this site since I have joined. He has done a good job in createing it and keeping it running.

Thanks for everything, Todd.

:iagree: . Todd has done an outstanding job with this forum, and I also appreciate all the hard work and money he has put into this site. Folks, we have a great thing going here:Smiley199 .

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

It's a labor of love...lol

I think most of the features should be working except for the Link Index, Information Center and the left column on the forum home page. I'm fighting several MYsql errors and hope to have them resolved by tomorrow.
