Recently we've had multiple reports of several issues concerning the disappearance of threads / drafts on the forum. After quite a while trying to debug the issues, we came to the conclusion that the server specs needed to be upgraded so that the database had more memory to work with.

Tonight I upgraded the server and hopefully these issues are now resolved. Please report any continuing issues if you see them. I ran into a few minor issues during the upgrade which we will attempt to sort out over the next few weeks, including performing a proper upgrade of forum software.

The upgraded server has increased our monthly costs slightly, and I've updated the Patreon page to reflect that. If you can spare any money on a monthly basis to help us run the forums, any contribution is welcome: https://patreon.com/atheistforums

After I log in, I'm unable to access "Today's Posts". It still says that the site is undergoing maintenance. 
I've tried a a few times since 6:00 AM EST.

I'll try again I get off from work.

Interesting. I can still access Today's posts.

I find it weird how often people are experiencing issues at the same time but not always the same issues.

Just gonna quote this. If you're experiencing issues, please have this be the first thing you try.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

BTW, it occurs to me the best forum upgrade would be for me to just post more.

Yes, I should have thought of that first. Not particularly tech savvy, though. 

It's working fine now. Thank you.
