As has been very apparent for the past month or so we have gone through a pretty involved update of the site. When we redid the site a few months ago we planned for increased traffic. Boy did we get it, with nearly 900,000 page views of the forum alone in July. So it was apparent that we needed to kick things up yet another notch. I can't say enough good things about Josh Perelli of Helix Creative. He masterminded a really slick new backend and probably needs about two weeks to catch up on lost sleep.
Things are about 99% done. There will still be a few hiccups here and there, that is inevitable. But pretty much everything is back to where we were in July. One of the things we had to let go to ease up the throughput was attaching files. That ability is now back, so you won't be forced to host your image on another site.
There are more updates coming. Though we were a fairly early adopter of delivering our manuals on CD ROM several years ago, we have fallen behind on making them available via download. Once this new setup is thoroughly proven we will begin to set up a system enabling downloads of assembly manuals to customers who have completed an order online.
