Hey, I have been trying to access the gallery for the last couple days and keep getting the same message "Server busy, please try again shortly." Is anyone else having this problem, is it related to the age of the server? Can anything be done?

For a better part of a month. No other website I frequent has this issue. Seems particular to Armorama.

Kitmaker is updating/migrating their sites, so that may have something to do with it.

They have a preview over on Model Shipwrights to give you a sneak peak into where they're heading.

It's more that our gallery is way over loaded with photos and albums and it was just never written for that. It's 15 years old as well.

Migrating to the new forums should solve these issues and allow users to upload images directly to any post they so choose without the worry of how much space they have left or if it's going to upload, etc.

This forum is soon going to be a dinosaur of the past and archived for search or browsing but that's all. I would advise ALL users to start thinking about moving their convos, blogs, and other stuff there now, before you hit the hard deadline for this move (which will be different for each site).

Thanks,
Jim
