    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

No more downloading

So I thought I'd download some sceneries to supplement a bit of flying I'll be doing around Maine. Went to the library and snagged a few. Tried to get another and was informed the limit was two gig which I just hit so I was not allowed to download any more. Well, color me surprised. I don't download stuff very often so this must be lifetime.

I figured the lifetime limit per screen name was 2 gig and I was supposed to take out a new name to get the sceneries. I didn't understand why but I did that and somehow I was still at the limit. Dang. Apparently, there is a lifetime download limit per person of two gig. Ok. I think that's kind of odd but the owners here set the rules. So that's it.
 
Charter Members of 2016 are allowed 125 files or 5GB per day in downloads. Past Charter and Members+ get 100 files or 2GB per day in downloads while ordinary Members get 75 files or 1GB per day maximum.

There's no lifetime limit I know of
 
I got everything downloaded and figured out the problem.

What happens is a lot of the time when I click download, it acts like it's happening but nothing gets downloaded so I need to click again. I should have known because the program makes me wait a minute whether it actually downloads or not. Obviously it records the size and it counted against me. Kind of a malfunction in the program.
