The Front Page Downtime has been noticed & posted in the Announcements section at the top of the forum.   ;)

Maybe this was explained in another forum here... but the news site for JD has been down for a couple weeks.  This happened around the same time the forum was down for a couple days.  Does JD plan to get it back up and running, or has it been abandoned?

At the top of the forum there's an announcment board and there's a post in there about it.  My understanding is they're working to bring it back, but no idea when.

Like efranks said, we posted about the meltdown of our content management system in the announcements forum...

I would re-classify Jesse's "little technical glitch" into 'collosal software failure'.  Obviously, we're working on it, but it may be a while before our front page is up and running again...  :'(

Since we have to fix it, rather than just slap up a stapled together version of the many-years-old system we were previously using, we are taking the opportunity to evaluate some new CMS tools and hopefully will have things back to normal (or maybe even better than normal) in a little bit.  Stay tuned!

Exactly!   ;)

Thanks for the info.  Might be nice to post a little "****'s busted" message on the front page.

With the front page down, it looks like this site is dead. That will keep the RS trolls from accessing our forums. You got to know the secret password to get in here.

That Angry Ewok with a Lightsaber banner has been a staple of JD for almost 10 years... I'll need some time to cope with its loss.

In all seriousness, the new site looks great!
