    Great work Scott - as always.

    Just a little feedback FYI - tried to post a .gif in another thread and it only displayed as a .jpeg. Also can't delete the image when editing my post.

    I'll post another .gif in a post below this one - see if it's across the board. Sure we'll live if .gifs are no more but just FYI

    Test gif

    OK, thanks.
    Might be something I can work out.

    EDIT: Actually were they working in posts before today?
    I just check ROK Lobsters avatar, and it is still a working GIF

    Plus I've also been advised to start do full site images(backups), these should cost about $5 a month in storage.
    I do DB backups on a weekly basis, but not a full site backup.

    Taking out roughly $100-$150 for the extra work for migration, we still have the next 10-11 months covered.
    We are also doubling up on costs since last week, as we have been running 2 servers (old and New).
    I have to keep the old one for at least 10 days after tonight, but I'll scale it back to the bare minimum tomorrow.
    To All RWO Members, at less than $500 per year in total we should be able to fund it from all us members IMO. If, say, 50 of us contribute $10 each we have it covered. That works out at less than 20 cents per week ... isn't the enjoyment you get out of this forum worth at least this much? C'mon everyone.

    Scott, if you PM me the details I'm happy to send my share via PayPal. I'll put my money where my mouth is and contribute $20.

    Scott, an option along the lines of what Matimbo has suggested is to have an annual, voluntary subscription of, say, $10 or $15 payable each year during May (when season in full swing and RWO readership is high ). This to be advertised in a thread such as this one a couple of times during the month of May. If that doesn't raise enough then you could subsequently ask for top-up donations from those who are willing and financially able.

    Were working in the past - there was a Larry David .gif used a while back when talking about the new beer options in the new Nobel

    And just when I found one of that scene in Airplane/Flying High when everyone lines up to slap some sense into that hysterical woman...

    Has been almost a week.

    Except for the GIFless, all seems to be working beautifully.
