I'm planning next week Saturday for a brief downtime of the website while we update to the latest version of VBulletin and run a few server patches.

Outage should be fairly brief. The part that will take the longest is a full snapshot of the webserver before any changes are made.

I am seeing some issues this morning, don't know, it might be my machine:

The "favicon" on the tab has changed to (I think) the vBulletin default image.

What I have booked marked and use to take me to the homepage "http://www.migunowners.org/forum/index.php" takes me to "http://www.migunowners.org/forum/activity.php" instead.

The HOME button that used to take me to the "index" page now shows me the "index" page, but it is "http://www.migunowners.org/forum/content.php".

The redirects, I can deal with. Just please take a look at that favicon.

I didn't see any down time at all yesterday. I must have been out clearing some snow.

And I am off to the range today for some demonstrations, so I only have a little time this morning. I'll be back this evening.

Thanks. After every update, we have to go back and fix a few odds and ends due to the customization of the forum software for MGO. I thought we got all of them yesterday, but missed the favicon (it still shows on my computer, but is probably cached). I'll get that fixed.

As for the redirects, that is on vBulletin. Evidently, they changed-up the forum mapping on the updates. I'm sure there must be some legit underlying reasons for them doing that, so we'll just leave that "as is"! ;)

That is all fixed, The regular favicon is back. Thank you.

Dealing with that on my end is as simple as not asking for a specific page, ie "index". Just let the software give what is programmed as the entry point, as in "http://www.migunowners.org/?". That should work no matter how it is changed in the future.

Thanks again.
