Default Welcome back, bananas.org!

I haven't been able to get into the forum in years and feared one of my favorite sources of info had disappeared into the ether. I am so glad you are back. Wouldn't have known if someone had responded to a post of mine from 2022.

Yeah, when I made this post What's blooming in your garden? (bananas) an automated notification email was sent to you.

Thanks for posting and maybe it will get someone in charge of this site to send automated emails to all members letting them know the site is running well now.

I asked Jarred about lack of being able to access the site a few days ago and he told me that it was being moved to a new host and that it should work better than ever. Seems good!

What a terrible experiment that was to see how long we could run on such old hardware. Sorry guys. Welcome back! A new beginning, on this stack.

I only had to edit like sixty-seven thousand files to get this old forum, old wiki, and an old photopost, working on modern php, modern database, and a modern operating system. Let alone restrictions on port 25 with web hosts these days. Got around all the hurdles though.
If I missed something just give a shout and I will try to get it fixed promptly. Again, apologies but I hope you fall back in love with our website and I am glad to make any other improvements and fixes that are needed.

Thanks for upgrading the forum.

Is it possible to increase the Disk space allowed on your account:

I ran out of photo space a long time ago and now can only copy over older photos.
