I was doing it on my phone - missed that. Now fixed.

Bandwidth was no problem. It was processor time and database time they were worried about. One bot was causing 96% of the load :shock: Check out this image where the tiny green line is the allowed use. I've re-enabled all the forums as read-only to guests and we'll see how that affects usage. Screen...

Alexias and I are working together on a plan. The site will stay on www.pothos.org but it will take a little while to move.

The forum will likely be locked on Thursday and we will attempt the move.

Sorry to see it go, but I remember when it started! I was a new grad student at Penn State studying Alexander with Gene Borza. I am now a tenured professor in spitting distance of retiring. I toast this as the first and longest-running site about Alexander the Great on the web. Thanks for taking it...

Please be aware that the upgrade appears to mean that you can now contact other members directly via the email address they have used to register with the forum. If you do not want people contacting you via the email address you have used, you may wish to consider creating a new email address and c...

I just updated the forum software to the latest version.

I think you can move a thread to any forum by moving the first post. I'm not sure about moving to topics. Maybe I misunderstood.
