126board is far along into the process of being fixed. Everything should be up and running by 8PM ET on Friday, Feb. 28.
Basically we are starting from a clean slate onto a new server, and bringing the forum software and database over to the new server. No data, images or other information will be or has been lost -- basically that forum will just pick up from where it left off last fall.
The 126board will be running the very latest version of XenForo, version 2.3 (and will soon upgrade to version 2.4 when it becomes available). This will be a nice preview for this forum, which will be also undergoing a complete revamp of its technical infrastructure over the next few weeks.
This forum has been up since February 2019, so it's been now over six years since it was implemented (actually six years ago YESTERDAY, though it didn't go "live" until March 9th, 2019).
There are a lot of cobwebs that have built up over the years, from a technical perspective. We'll do a thorough spring cleaning behind the scenes, in addition to updating all of the software to the very latest versions.
XenForo 2.4 (this forum is running on XF 2.2) is about to go into "beta" status, but it's likely that this forum will be updated to 2.3 first.

Thank you for your effort and dedication in this matter, @gerryvz! I know some time ago you said you are doing it all alone, without any help. I felt bad for not helping, but believe me, when it comes to my help in setting software, you wish I don't help, or you'd have to work more, to undo what I did.
At any rate, I do understand that you have other priorities in your life, but I just wanted to say Thank You! Just like others, I look forward with great interest to the reopening of the forum.

Due to some short-term priorities (my wife is battling breast cancer, and has had two surgical procedures in the past two weeks, including Thursday of this past week), the re-opening of 126board has been postponed by 7-10 days from my earlier estimate.
My sincere apologies, but I have to take care of my wife right now.

Please do, that is a matter of highest importance. We all understand and wish her the best. We'll keep her health and yours in our prayers.
100% this is a no brainer, best wishes to your wife @gerryvz.
We all wish your wife a speedy recovery to full health, Gerry!
I wanted to give folks a quick update on the 126board.
The server is running and is "up," although there are a few remaining issues relating to the site's SSL certificate that are being taken care of.
No data has been lost, and when everything is resolved, things will pick up from where they left off last fall in terms of the site operation.
Here is a screen shot that I just now took, of myself logged into the site.
It is possible for you to log into the site if you want to, but you will find there is a "SSL error" that you will need to click through, if you want to access the site. But if you really want to, you certainly can.
We'll get the problems fixed for good in the near future, and the site should be good to go.
Thanks for your patience. A lot of moving parts.

I am happy to report that the 126board is now up and running. You should be able to access everything as it was last fall when I took the forum off-line.
Two-factor authentication has not been enabled for that forum, but may need to be in the future.
CONFIRMING that 126board.com **IS** working now from all computers, all browsers and all networks in my house. Multiple Mac, PC,phones as well as several different browsers.
Should be up and running for everyone. Dumping your browser cache may help. Also unplugging your home wireless router for 30-60 seconds to dump its stored DNS cache.
I expect to see everyone back on 126board again now. It took A LOT of work to bring that forum back up.
I was able to finally fully access the forum on all computers, browsers and platforms late last night after some tweaks and changes were made and propagated through the internet.
It also helped to dump the caches of my browsers and home wireless router to speed up this process.
There is more testing happening today, but from everything I can see diagnostically the site is fully up and working.
I have an outside expert on all of this taking a look today.

Roy,
Some further tests (even using the site that your expert used) are showing that the site is fully working now.
I was having similar issues as you last night, in terms of the site working on a cellular connection and over my employer’s VPN, but not on my home network using home, work computers and phone.
That was all resolved later last night and all is now working 100% on all platforms computers and networks.
I will continue testing, but here are the results from the testing site your colleague used.
I just re-ran the same test about 2 minutes ago and it continues to check out 100%.
Understood, thank you!
When was this? I'm guessing I'm out of luck here as a newbie

Although, we never implemented the $10 annual fee. Perhaps implementing a $100-per-user annual fee for this forum and keeping 126board free would be a better option. This forum is costing north of $125 + many hours a month to keep running.
The real acid test is whether @liviu165 can access the 126board.
If he is successful, then I will call the problem solved.
You could levy a fee in line with your USA property tax but based on the perceived value of the owner's E500E - other charlatan vehicle owners would obviously be exempt on taste or affordability grounds
For UK and EU members, of course, the fee would be appropriately tariffed......You could levy a fee in line with your USA property tax but based on the perceived value of the owner's E500E - other charlatan vehicle owners would obviously be exempt on taste or affordability grounds
Yes, I am successful, I think we can put the issue to rest now.

Thanks Dave, nothing in my Junk folder, and no Spam folder that I can see on Hotmail...
