Welcome all to the new Archive server. Looks like the transition went better than expected and took only a few hours.

Thanks for your patience all!

Thanks, Talula!

Good job by the technical staff.

As smooth as it went, there may still be some minor glitches. Be patient :-) ... but don't be afraid to post here and let us know if you see something wrong.

We don't always get around to poking in the dark, scary corners of the Archive like you folks do!

Yea, there were some minor glitches but with Bboys attention to detail, and both of us typing like hell, everything seems to be back to normal.

Please do let us know if there are some probs.

Everything seems to work just fine with the five browsers I use. No tabbing available with Netscape, of course, but that's a pretty minor thing. Easy enough to use another browser.

I know you've said in the past that the "currently-being-read stories" feature would return, but have yet to see it. That was the most interesting part of all for both my wife and I, and we miss it dearly. Hope you still intend to restore it.

Yes shortie. My plans are to move the story indexes to one central page where you can pick the type of index you wish to view. With that will be all the story stats you mentioned and more. This will also help solve the tabbed browser issue in a way that things are more user-friendly.

Just not enough time in the day though it is half written.

Also, sorry the chat server was down today. Still don't know why but there was no internet connection to the box.

p.s. First day of vacation and the internet dies and the water main breaks. Got internet, still no water.

Congratulations,Talula. The change-over must have been smooth----I didn't notice it!!!!! By the way, I didn't know that you had running water out there in the wilds of Wisconsin. FLO
