It was indeed one year ago today that we moved to a new server, though the minor glitches we've had on this most recent move are cake compared with that one, where it turned out an overly optimistic estimate of our impact on the system we were being added to resulted in bringing the whole setup to a crashing halt. That was the situation that resulted in our moving to Pair networks, who saved us in a big way by getting our stuff moved over there instantly, saving us from huge downtime. So as we're working things out after moving off of Pair (the site is being hosted on UGO's servers now, BTW, I don't think I ever mentioned it), it seems appropriate to once again thank the fine folks at Pair for a year of sterling service. Speaking of the remaining minor glitches on the new server, cookies (and therefore user preferences) should be working as soon as your DNS is updated with the new server. Furn has also addressed the problem that has caused the server to crash a few times, but I think we won't know if that's cleared up until the weekend ends, since it seems to be extreme traffic loads that provokes the crashes.
