• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Global Microsoft Outlook Email outage!

I've spent the last hour and a half trying to get my Microsoft Outlook email open. Tried lots of things and different ways. Just saw a caption banner on my TV advising that the system is down nation-wide. Sure wish there was a better way to notify us so us old guys don't spend eternity chasing our tails. I do have a backup secondary gmail account but there was nothing on there about the Outlook problem.

Might be a virus. Be careful.

It's not a virus, it's a Global Outage affecting several Microsoft Suite platforms, including Outlook, Teams, and Copilot.

There's a Service Health Status notice right at the bottom of the Microsoft 365 dropdown, and it's posted there only because Microsoft 365 Administrators may be unable to access the Admin center to get Service Health info, but it's a World Wide Major Outage caused by 'a large number of servers being made unexpectedly unavailable', altho Microsoft is now saying 'there are now a subset of servers back online and they are working to apply those changes more broadly', so some users may be getting access back to their emails.

:oops:
 
It is just the way the internet systems work. Way too many hackers
trying to mess up anything used for good. I try to use the internet
as little as possible. Just don't trust this system anymore. Now AI is
Not your friend. Just wanted to let everyone know.
