Things are going well as we work to get the forums back up and running again. Aliasfix and I have run into some problems already, however, they are quite minor in the grand scheme of things. Problems thus far:

Attachments do not work. When we reopen - DO NOT UPLOAD IMAGES.

Avatars are sketchy. You cannot UPLOAD avatars. The one you had during the last backup will still be there so you can keep that one. Also, you can use "off-site" images - upload them at photobucket or imageshack and link them that way. DO NOT UPLOAD AVATARS.

Uploads are not working. Rest assured, we do have them all, but they have not been uploaded yet. We are going to try and bring them back as soon as possible, but until then, off-site image hosting sites must be used. And with the rapid rise of such sites, we might close uploads and attachments all together. Imageshack, PaintedOver, Photobucket, etc.

I have to run some errands really quick (food, etc.), but should be able to reopen when I get back (I want to be there when we open to work out problems).

When we reopen, please use this thread to report problems or errors.
