I noticed after this site changed that MBNZ.org started to change a little as well. Different views and colors but no required registration. Then all last week the forums worked but there was missing information on the main forum screen (last post, date, etc.). This week nothing has worked. Maybe he is getting a new server??

MBNZ.ORG back up...
here's kinda what happened as quoted from the forum...
"At a little after 9:00am EST this morning, one of the processors in the dual processor web server failed. When this happened, it rendered
the server unbootable. A new server was immediately installed and performed a complete restore of the boot drive and system state, and are in the process of attempting to retrieve data files from the time of the crash.
We should be up with the latest data very soon."
Seems Dell serviced the server leading to the blown processor...
"We have a Dell server and without going to specifics, they did something to the server during service, and well this happened.
A new server won't alleviate the agony that (I) went through today. That's all I can say.
To everyone, I am very very sorry."
That's what I know...

Never call Dell for technical support. All they do is walk you through their online manuals, which almost never work. This leads them to their universal solution... reformat your computer. When I first got my 1000mhz 3/2000, dell had me reformat it 4 times. Then I had to send it back in, and have them send me a new one, which was also formatted several times. Other people I know have had the same problems.

That's my rant for the day.
Oh, and I fixed my problem all by myself.
