This reflects your browser using a cached page from a recent visit rather than getting a fresh copy from the server. If you look for the 'Reload this page' icon (a circular arrow on Google chrome) and hold down shift and left click that icon, that will force the browser to go get a fresh page from the server. (Obviously, there may be variations on this theme on other browsers and Apple systems).

Hoorah! You're back! Glad you had good backups!

It'd be nice to get a few vBulletin updates!

Especially this thread editor, which is much improved in newer versions...

Better security, image handling and other features too.

Yes, the shift/reload worked for me, per a suggestion from Alan Maisey.

Many thanks to those who contribute to the site and solve irs problems!

Thanks very much for all your efforts and support, Lee!

A move that would allow for continuous updates (as well as https) would be really great to secure the extremely valuable resource the forums have become to the community!

Please let me know if I can be of any help to make this happen?

Regards,
Kai

Thank you Lee.

The phrase "National Treasure" keeps running through my mind.

Global Treasure in my book!

Lee, we are lucky to have you!! I just hope that you are training a "back up person," to do all the things that you do for this site.
