The 944spec.org website has been updated with new software and hardware.
You'll need to download you Avatars again.

Work is still in progress for the Driver Listing

Thanks for the work on this, Ken.

Just how much time have you put into fixing and improving our web site, my friend. Inquiring minds want to know. Was it 100 hours, 200 hours????

Didn't really have a choice since the old website software was out of date and some of the old modules were vulnerable to hacking attempts.

The hard and scary work was migrating all the data.
The new article URL format is cleaner and more human readable but unfortunately different from the old version. The migration correctly rewrote the URL's to the new format but obviously cannot change external links. This results in broken links from Google and other search engines.
Not much I can do until these search engines rescan the site and build new indexes.

The good news is the website software has been updated to the latest version, running on faster hardware and faster network connection.

Big thanks to Ken for all the work on the site! This is a great resource for our group, and is another thing that sets 944-Spec apart from most other classes.
