Steve (LOL-X) is doing the move as we speak.

It's a HUGE database and the new server has required tweaking to become fully functional with the software and it's new requirements.

His blood pressure must be sky high at present but hopefully he'll be able to announce the completion sometime soon.

Personally, I am enjoying the "hard-core" Rolex fans being the only ones that can find their way in here

Paul has answered this question.

I have spoken to Steve over the past few weeks. He is working through the data transfer to a new server and this is very slow in Oz. As soon as the data is transferred and the new server has the correct software in place Steve will advise us.

I am so glad we can get in through this URL. But once the new come on line, I should be able to access from work also. The firewall does not allow me at this time!

GREAT WORK!

As others have pointed out Steve is doing his best and the forum data base is quite large almost 9.5 gigs now.And if this forum continues with the many many huge pictures that are posted on TRF.Instead of links that are hosted on sites like image-shack TRF data base will soon become critical overload.

It's a massive job but I'm sure everything will be better than new when it's done.
