Prime Portal went through a major face lift this weekend.  The rest of the pages will get brought up to the new look little by little.  Let me know what you think of the new look!

Now one question before tonight's updates, is there any interest in adding a Naval section to the website?  If there is interest and if people can help me with some pictures, I will happily add in a section for water craft / ships.  Again, let me know!

Now for tonight's update:

We have a new donor at Prime Portal tonight, Alex van Riezen.  He has sent in a 9 photo walk around of the British Scammell Pioneer.  Welcome to Prime Portal Alex!

It looks like the new DNS numbers have propagated across the internet.  Both servers are now getting fairly even traffic.  If you notice any problems, please let me know!

I spent quite a bit of time today fixing little problems on the website to make it work a bit better on the dual servers.  Because of this, I didn't get as many new updates for tonight, but here they are:

Bill Spidle has sent in several new walk arounds:
     A 38 photo walk around of the B-24J "Bungay Buckaroo".

     A 36 photo walk around of the B-24J "Joe".

     A 36 photo walk around of the C-123B.

     A 32 photo walk around of the F-8A.

     An 18 photo walk around of the H-43B.

     A 64 photo walk around of the RF-8G.

     And a 7 photo walk around of the V-1 Buzz Bomb.

Whoo Hoo!  It works!  Many thanks to Mike Smith and Roger Schrader for their help in getting this working.

The DNS entries are propagating through the internet over the next 24 to 36 hours, but after that you should start seeing some much better speeds!

Updates will start again tomorrow night!  Thank you for your patience!

 

9/2/05
Today and yesterday were spent on software on the new server.  Updating the software has taken longer than I expected, but at the rate it is going, unless there are some serious surprises, the new server should be online before the weekend is out.

There may be some small interruptions pulling pictures, but this will be very temporary.
