And we’re back! Our apologies for the recent site downtime and thank you for your patience. The site had to be taken offline while we fixed ongoing server issues.

Bad News: during the fix we had to roll back the site to July 23, so you may notice some recent posts missing. We hope you’ll help by reposting any missing threads / posts that you remember posting.

Good News: as part of the fix, we also upgraded the server, so the site should now load faster than ever!

Note: The search index is still being rebuilt, so search results and your content page will be blank/incomplete until rebuild is finished.

If you should experience any unexpected issues, please reach out to us via the Contact Us link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks again for your patience and welcome back!

Thanks for fixing it! Now go fix the 6g site. Has the same issues this site did.

Remember what I posted 5 days ago? I can’t remember what I had for Breakfast this morning!

It was working well when it first came back online. Didn’t take long to be slow and laggy again. Too bad, was really hoping this update fixed the problem.

Give it some time… Admin stated there’s rebuilding going on which likely is sucking up server time

Hopefully that’s it. It wouldn’t let me in earlier today because of a sever connection issue. I remember blaming IT when I still worked about the slowness of our network.

Admin requested in Post #1 to reach out to the Admin for unexpected issues like you experienced today, (that way they have the info in one place and would not need to read down into various threads)

see Post #1:
“If you should experience any unexpected issues, please reach out to us via the Contact Us link at the bottom of the site.”

BTW, If anyone has an alert bubble that they can't clear, try this solution:

1) open your full alerts page: https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/account/alerts?show_only=all

2) scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on "select all" and "Mark read" then click "Go". This should hopefully clear your alert bubble.

3) if that didn't work, repeat step #2 for all successive alert pages (if you have any) - i.e. pages 2, 3, etc..
