Server Downtime - May 13th-16th, 2025

Country flags are gone too, though I think a lot of us stopped using them by this point.  Also, changing your profile details apparently nukes your avatar, with no way to get it back unless you have external hosting.

EDIT: Managed to find it in the gallery listing.  Also, it's hilarious that there's still a spot for Skype usernames with Skype no longer being a thing.

Just a note to say THANK YOU to Alex for all his hard work on the forum. The Pacific Southwest forum is one I depend upon as a primary source of information for my pages, as well as a primary place to promote when I do California Highway Headline posts, posts of updates to my pages, and posts about the California Highways podcast. It has always served as a relatively high quality source of information.

I know the incredible amount of work that goes into maintain all of this, and I just want to let @Alex know that I appreciate it.

The one suggestion I might make is to create a read-only, non-forum page off AARoads (e.g. .../forumstatus.html) that just provides a status update on the forum for downtimes like this. The AARoads FB page, which would be a logical place for that information, isn't a good source.

Thank you again.

See, this is why it's handy. If someone posts something thoughtful or interesting that I have no further comment on, I like using it since we can no longer just post an emoticon in response to someone's post.
