yuppie Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Just waiting on the owner to update DNS to that new server, not sure how long it'll take or if it will be done. We shall see. I could easily create a new board, I'm not sure if anything of value would be lost in starting over. Especially since the landscape has changed so much over the last couple years. I understand amassing the audience is the value here and keeping a site running for 20+ years is no small feat. I'm interested to see if traffic picks up or falls off. 4

This is pretty cool that you have stepped in to help. Thank you from someone who uses OLH as their main source of cigar banter online. MB 4

Capt. Corona Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Can't seem to get past the "tell us when you were born" part of the re-register page? It does nothing when I click on it.

Go to http://3.131.133.72 and register there, Wade should be updating the DNS to point to this server soon, not sure what's taking so long.
Duder Posted April 25 Posted April 25 If Wade gets this done do we still have to re-register or will we be able to login with our previous credentials?

Your previous login credentials should be working now, at this site: http://3.131.133.72/index.php All the history and PMs are there too, just no profile comments. I'm also getting https://offlinehumidor.com/index.php pointed at the same server (sometimes logging in doesn't work, sometimes it does), but this phpBB forum software really sucks, but you could try both URLs and your original login credentials should work. I've been speaking with Wade on the phone, but haven't heard from him since Thursday. There is some more work we need him to do in order to complete the transition, but it hasn't happened yet. 3
