Status Update:

I see the random red x problem is resurfacing.  I am going to get the new primary server online and running ASAP.  Please be patient while this issue is resolved.

 

2/25/07
New updates for today:

Prime Portal was temporarily unavailable for several hours this evening.  There was a serious issue with bandwidth on one server.  This forced me to relocate part of the site to a new server.  There may be some issues for the next day or two while I finish moving things around.  For the most part, things should be back to normal.

Ultimately this will accelerate my plans for the website and force me to get the next server online quicker than planned.  The next step will be a major change for Prime Portal on my side, but will not change the web site from the user side.  It will make things considerably faster and more reliable.  It will take a fair chunk out of my wallet, but I believe it will be well worth it in the long run.  I will post more information on server changes in the next couple days.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this outage caused.

 

I would like to thank David Hata for his very generous contribution to the Prime Portal Operating Fund.  Thank you David!
