Sorry For Site Downtime

For those who still come here...

MySQL got update on my server, and I didn't catch at first that it brought this site down. I had to jump from Drupal 4.7 to 5.7. I plan to make the jump to 6.x

Along the way I also made sure that both my current Drupal sites are sharing a single install rather than a multi install using the Drupal sites feature (and a little vhosts.conf action).

Images are down for at least the next few days, but posting/logins should work again. I had to reconfigure the page layout a bit as the old blocks layout got corrupted. I think I brought it back mostly.

Let me know if there are any specific problems that need tackling.

Decided that since there are certain key modules that are simply not ready for prime time in Drupal 6 (e.g., Images), we'll be sticking at 5.

Unfortunately your site

Unfortunately your site avatars (your little picture) are a casualty of war, due to the new layout the system isn't smart enough to pic up the old ones. So you'll have to re-apply an avatar to your account.

Well, I tried to go from 5.7

Well, I tried to go from 5.7 to 6.2 last night. The initial take was good, then I went to update the Images module only to discover that it too needed a stopover in 5.7.

So I had to back off 6.2, restore to 5.7, and update the Image module Tables. That said, it took me 3 tries to get it right.

But here it is.

Tonight I'll do the move to 6.2 and then look to restore missing modules.
