The forum was down for several hours this afternoon. I contacted our IT guy, Michael Seufer as well as the AAW office. It took a while to get in contact with everyone, but the bottom line is that the forum had reached the limit of our disk space. An upgrade to our hosting service fixed the problem.

Image gallery strikes again?

Total disk usage. The discussion forums contain more images than the gallery. However, I'm considering more reasonable size limits for images. There really isn't a good reason for images that are 1920 px in either height or width. I may implement different file size limits in the gallery and in posts. I need to discuss this with management.
 
I thought I had broke it !!!!
 
Had a time getting on the site but later in the day, I was able to get on. Many thanks to anyone who is involved in maintaining the website!
