Our website and the forum were broken after a forced platform update a couple of days ago. Our volunteer IT expert worked tirelessly to restore them. At this time, everything seems accessible to me. The look and feel are slightly different.
Let us know if you have any problems. Thank you for your patience.
Boy, was I shocked when I opened up OPR!! The one thing I do not have is the left side bar where you can see all the posts. Now mind you, I've not explored everything yet. Maybe I missed activating something.
Wow! different indeed! Same here for me, no left side with posts. Thanks to IT expert for tireless dedication.. having done website code I sympathize! Not for the feint hearted. After posting I now see past posts and replies.. looks good no problems.

You're spot on! My hubby is now retired and he agrees 100%.
Yeah Candy, had to give it up, takes over ones life. Start thinking in html code and eating cold baked beans out of a can...lol

Thank you for letting us know, Chen.
Whew! Scary changes, but I'm learning my way around.
Oh wow, well at least we're back on line! Thanks so much Shujen and IT Expert!
So true!!
With the partial restore forum, one thing we lost is the automated redirect to "postimg.cc" where we can save the image files and insert the link in the forum posts. Here is a workaround I created. We will have to live with it until I found a better solution. Sorry for the inconvenience.
1. Go to https://postimages.org/
2. upload an image file as usual
3. copy the "Hotlink for forums" and paste it into your post
4. Click PREVIEW to make sure that is what you want
5. Click POST

Thanks you Shujen! :-)
We are back. Again!
Our website is running on the secure https protocol which requires a certificate. The certificate expired yesterday and the automated renewal did not happen. It even refused manual renewal. Fortunately, Omar, our IT expert, was able to wrangle a new certificate and we are back.
Sometimes I think software updates are ways IT professionals maintain their job security. ;)
Did we get our left panels back or am I missing something, Schen? Thanks, Candy
Thank you Omar and Shujen!
Candy, sorry, the left pane is still missing. I hope we will find it soon.
Gosh, me too! It must be tired and hungry by now!!
Lol!
Hi Everyone,
Thanks again to Shuejn and Omar for fixing a nightmare. Sorry I'm late to the nightmare, but was in Canada for a weeks vacation and when I came back; I came down with Covid. Have now tested negative, but really tired.
definitely a different feel
The sidebar is back! Thanks so much for Omar's hard work.
Yeah! Thanks so much Omar and Shujen!
Yeay sidebar is back yeay!! Thanks webmasters, lots of hard work I know.
Margie! sorry you came down with covid. I felt (and still do actually) feel more tired than before. Trick is to just nap. Hope you feel better soon.
I haven't logged in for a while and now the site is all gussied up!! Looks great and thank you to those who made all t his happen.
Sorry to hear about your Covid Margie - hope the tiredness abates
