    Well, this is kind of bizarre: the web hosting company that provides the TruckersReport's server got bought out, and they're shutting down the datacenter we've been in for the past several years. So, the forum will be offline for ~8 hours while we transfer to a new hosting company sometime this week. The exact date is going to depend on when our server administrator is available to do the transfer, and his schedule is a little chaotic at the moment, so it's not clear exactly when that will be.

    It's a server migration, not a site update, so everything should stay the same as far as our members are concerned. No changes to features, appearance or functionality of the site. That said, TruckersReport.com has grown very large and complex, and there are likely to be some unanticipated bugs that we'll need to squash in the days that follow the migration.

    I'll post an update when we find out exactly when the migration is going to happen (will be very short notice), and I'll start a new thread for bug reports when the migration is complete.

    Thank you in advance for your patience.
