BOARD ACCESS PROBLEM
BOARD ACCESS PROBLEM
If you are reading this, then you are probably not using a bookmark to call up Reel Talk. However, people who use a bookmark or typing in a URL address may get this message: "Page not found - The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. " Not sure if this is due to server change but there seems to have been a slight change to the URL address.
You need to access the forum by going to the ORCA home page and click on the Reel Talk link. Once in, you can reset your bookmark. If you know of anyone having problems, please help spread the word.

Don't have any answers for you at the moment except that the transition is still ongoing. Merv is spending hours on the phone or waiting and I hope everyone has just as much patience while he works things out...I'd say this is a good time to clean that crusty reel that's been staring at you from the shelf

Thank you Merv!
Merv,
Just a quick Thank You for all the time you've spent working on this problem so far, and the time I know you'll spend in the next few days. It is greatly appreciated!

I copied this from a post I made on another thread for your information:
..wish it were a browser issue but that would be too simple. Unfortunately, there are indeed problems when using the header links above. There is also a problem with the "Picture Repository" and "Upload Picture" links. You get the message that Dave is talking about (ie. "webpage not found"). The good news is you can still navigate and view all of the forums by using the "ORCA Online Forum Index" button at the top left of this page instead of the header links. (As an aside and if you did not know, the advantage to using the Forum Index is that you can see when new posts are made). Unfortunately, there is no way that I know of to use the repository and uploader until we fix the forum code and correct the links.
We are asking that people be patient and cope with things a bit as these problems are being worked on by Merv (who by the way is devoting hours to this). But because this is not anyone's full time job, it will take us time.
We moved servers to get better control of and limit the g*bass*illion spam members signing up every day to hawk their natural or not-so-natural male enhancement products or 18 and older. You don't see them as new members because we delete them one by one as they appear, 365 days a year.
I would echo Nate's post also and say yes, "Help" - Anyone want to lend a hand?

Good News is that it seems like the new host has restored access to the picture repository and the uploader is working again. Unfortunately, we may have lost a few pictures in the transition but it seems to be minimal. Let us know if anything about the site is still not working right.
Thank you Merv!
