We are back - Sort of.....
This has been the weekend from ****. If it could go wrong, it did!
So we have decided to open the site back up, even though we are not finished. 2 of 4 main objectives have been met. The system is updated to version 3.6 and the internal changes that I wanted to make have been done. What is not done is the new Photo Galleries and the new Links & Downloads library.
The Photo Galleries are probably a couple days away, but your pictures are safe and any links to them are being serviced. I'll provide more info after a good night's sleep 
The links & download library, I'm not really sure, but should not be too much more. And again, your links and downloads are here and safe 
As you look around and and use the site you will see that some of the smaller add-ons are not yet back, but they will be, or at least most will. You will also see problem, bugs, and things that are new or changed.
PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL OR PM ME OR THE REST OF THE STAFF ABOUT issues. If you do, they will be ignored. Please use the Problems or the How do I, forums to post the issues. All admin and Mods should monitor these forums very closely.
If you are having Registration, Activation, or Login Problems, please use the Contact Us link at the bottom of every page.
With a little bit of patience on everyone's part, everything will back to normal in a few days. Well......, as normal as it gets around here

Steve,
Sorry to hear that you had a tough time with the upgrade, but everyone will appreciate all of the effort you've expended to make the "Best" even "Better"! Let me know when I need to step forward to help with the Links and Download Manager upgrade (sadly, I'm away from home most of tomorrow).

Rob L & D is actually running. The only thing that needs to be done is to import the old data. Of course, that's where the the problems with the photo Galleries started

Thanks Steve, my twitching is subsiding and irritability levels are returning to normal I appreciate all the work that you (and others) have done over the long weekend.

Thanks so much Steve and all of the now bald individuals who spent the weekend pulling their hair out over computers. Given how great this site is under the old system, I can hardly imagine what the updates will bring. I must confess that I checked my bookmark at least 10 times each day that the site was down. I'm smiling now and very thankful for all of the hard work that goes into making this site such a treat!

You might not be done but what you have accomplished so far has made a big difference Response is much quicker.
Thanks (to all of you) for all your efforts!

Steve, Thank you for all your work, having the site offline made me realize how much I enjoy it and use it each day. You have a great thing going here!

Thank you all for your Thanks.
But, with the new staff organization, there are 2 more to thank.
Monty and D L. Both worked very hard to get us this far. DL even went so far as to drive up to apex to help me. The other staff members would also have been working, except I was in the "critical path" and they didn't get their chance. But ALL were on standby, waiting for me to get my act together, which didn't happen.
So my thanks to all that helped and those who would have if the stars had aligned correctly
