If it's too expensive or something to fix, if it's not going to be fixed, maybe tell us so we get over it and accept it and move on? Just a suggestion.

Quite possible, too. I don't know the coding or structure of a site like the Org, but it's incredibly outdated just on the front. The backend has to be struggling in a new world of HTML5, soon no flash - whatever.

What forum software could mostly seamlessly upgrade this prince.org website?

How much would any work cost?

(adaptations of and to the database schema, etc)

.

Goal should be to have a modern, maintainable software installation.

I think I read that Ben coded this from scratch... if so he would need to fix it.

Well, a lot of it is bulletin board code that was out there, but the layout etc was coded by him. But beyond that, I think about the sheer amount of data that 20+ years have accumulated. It's just ...massive.

I come to the site every day a few times, but this problem only appeared for me yesterday, Feb 23. But a few weeks ago, whenever I clicked on my link for the Prince Music and More page, it started kicking me back to the front page after a couple of seconds. Now it goes to the forum page, moves to the front page, then asks me to log in.
