Thanks Andy!

It appears we are having hard drive issues and the read/write to the drives is way down causing the processor usage to skyrocket and services to fail.

I am looking at ordering two new servers to be put online by the end of the week. I have already ordered one. My goal is to stablize this server so that everyone will be able to get onto the site and also the experience will be enjoyable until I can move this site to a new server (in the near future).

I have emails into the datacenter about when new servers will be provisioned and will post updates here...

However, Ctrl-c works to copy, and Ctrl-v works to paste if I happen to lose the work. For newcomers to the keyboard, Ctrl-c means holding down the Ctrl key (bottom left on my keyboard), and then pressing c.
I hope this helps someone.

As I was addressing my last post to newcomers to the keyboard, I should add that before using Ctrl-c, one must first highlight in blue the text to be saved, by left clicking in the reply box, and by either dragging the cursor over the required text, or by right-clicking and selecting "select all" from the menu. If the saved text is to be pasted back into the now empty reply box

, left click in the box, and press Ctrl-v, and the text will be pasted back (much to my relief). When carrying out these operations, you are copying to, and pasting from, a virtual Clipboard, which only exists in the memory of the computer. Well, that's how my granddaughter explained it to me.......

The view first unread post is not working for me at this time. Most likely related to the server problems.

It almost never works right for me! I use FF so that might be part of it.

Sorry Andy, I didn't mean to get an avalanche rolling. I was just wondering if anyone else was having the same problem as me.

That is ok, I need to make sure the server is working well. I am working on things and hope to get ahead of hardware needs soon...

Hey, Andy, thanks for all the hardwork. This surely must be the one of the most successful single item user community on the web. It's a great place and you're doing a good job!
