Site may be offline for a while at some point

Due to an offer that I couldn't pass up (basically quadrauple the storage space and bandwidth), the Naeldor site is being upgraded to another server with my same host. I'm going to do this in the next few days, hopefully. When it occurs, the site may be offline for a while.

For those interested in a sweet hosting offer, look here:

I'm upgrading to the "dynamite" plan, but I've been happy even with my current setup. Great support.

If anyone hasn't noticed, work on the new site is underway. Without boring you with the details, things like relative paths, etc. and the way the CMS I'm using work, mean it would have been difficult (but not impossible) to work on the site "behind the scenes." Thus, I took down the old one from the default naeldor.com site and have been gradually getting the new one up. The old site is still accessible at www.klinehome.com/naeldor

Two main reasons for the overhaul:
1. A good time for it, since I would have needed to reupload a whopping amount of data to the new server.
2. I'm using a content management system, which will make weekly updates after each session MUCH quicker. That part was getting to be a drag from week to week, but I think it is important for continuity, and to keep the campaign going from week to week.

Regarding the forums, some news there as well. I've been beating my head against the wall trying to integrate these forums into the new site, and I've been running into all sorts of problems. It is looking very likely that we will be going to a more "built-in" forum system, with these forums being archived and accessible to read. I initially wanted to avoid new forums, but in hindsight it might not be so bad to have "clean" forums for the start of NWN2.

Feel free to post any thoughts on the above here.

Of course I noticed...........where am I supposed to be looking again?

Do I need to bookmark a new site?

Old forums: www.klinehome.com/naeldor/naeldorforums

The new site, currently under construction: www.naeldor.com (same address as before, just brand new look and content)

Old site: www.klinehome.com/naeldor (probably to move soon, and eventually to go away)

The link to the old and new forums is on the new site, but hold off on posting in the new forums for a day or two until I get them tweaked.

www.naeldor.com is really all you need to know, as it has links to both the old and new forums.

P.S. Someone see if your login at naeldor.com works (same login as for these forums) and report back here please. I tried porting the login database over from the old forums. If it didn't work, I'll have to delete everyone as a user on the new server, and you'll need to reregister.
