I copied the site over to my local machine last night via FTP. It takes all night for anyone wondering. I have also suspended gallery uploads for all editors. Individual users might still have access to various albums, but I ask that you not upload anything as it will not be carried over to the new site. Not only that but I am confident that we will have a brand new gallery application on the new site that will allow all members the ability to upload their model images directly to the site. Each member will have a set storage limit and their own personal area showing all their images (as well as images grouped by interest). Again for those wondering the old gallery will not be going away, just turned into more of an archive gallery. As time goes on I may start to move these photos to CD-ROM and make them available to everyone that way (ultimately phasing out the old gallery).

I hope to get the copied site uploaded to the new server tonight. Then I will have to create a dump (copy) of the database, download and upload that, and then start working on getting the new site actually running (no it doesn't just "work" once all the files are in place.

Cheers,
Jim

Jim---don't you just have to push a button and all this "just happens"???

Just kidding. As always your updates are appreciated and the new gallery scenario sounds like dynamite.

Great job Sir!
