Thanks Brendon! I'm in the process of completing the matching forum style and customizing all modifications. Hopefully will be able to re-open the forum in the next couple weeks.

As for hosting - I've decided to go with VPS Latch and couldn't be happier! They have a great support team and a wonderful leader in Adam.

Jacquii.

I don't know if I could be comfortable with a hosting company based in Orlando- what about hurricanes, frequent thunder storms, tornadoes, and such that the area is known to have? I'd hate to have my site wiped out due to a weather event near the data center.

Their prices look good though.

ARG!! Thanks for that dose of paranoia :erm:

I never considered the weather actually - but their data center seems as secure as any other... They offer (like HostV supposedly did/does and like most all other hosting companies do) r1soft backups, etc... I suppose rsync is to be my best friend....

I put a warning about HostV on my links directory after reading your story...

Thanks! The only thing that really tore me up about the HOstV incident is that they simply acted as if they didn't care. They hardly every updated us about the issue. I believe they didn't even try to salvage our data. They are simply one of the most unethical companies I've ever dealt with ==> HOSTV SUX DONKEY BALLS!

I honestly and truly dislike the navigation at the top, I think it's unprofessional.

The redesign is still incomplete so it may change a bit - but it is FAR from "unprofessional". Do you even know what you're talking about? o.O

Anyway - you can see it at http://jpicforum.info/forum/ -- keep in mind that there is still work to be done... The forum is offline, blablabla.

Let me know what you think after visiting :)

Jacquii.

I love the great work Jacquii!

It really inspires me a lot.

You got a thing for designing. :D

Hey Freshboy https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
Thanks for the love - I'm hoping to re-open the forum next week some time - Definitely in the month of December at anyrate.

Glad you like what I've done with it thus far.

Jacquii.

Wow Jacquii, I'm impressed. Love the design, very elegant and colorful. This really fire me up to learn and work to reach at least half of your skill level. :D
Keep up the amazing work and always remember to inspire us (or me at least) with your designs. :)

Also, you're probably tired of hearing this by now, but I'm terribly sorry to hear about your HostV issues.
