What happened? Why was the site down?!?

Ok so when I made all of these changes it seems that they were still unfortunately connected to the old server.
The hosting company took down the old server late last night and I didn't realize it until this morning.
So of course there was panic this morning but I found the old server was still operational and I was able to take the backup of that one and restore it to the new server.
So sorry - this is why I don't like doing server moves but it's done now and backups are being made frequently.
Thanks for your understanding, now to get back to fixing this place up!

It's accessible here:
https://openroad.site/community/bbmembe ... index.html
But since it runs off of the new template now sure if it will work unless you go back to the new version. Once I get past this rash of issues we've encountered I'll go and add it to the old style menu and get things shored up.

Do you have a methodology that does not require paypal......... for those of us who do not have a paypal account?
I clicked on the paypal item and got logged out of the site.

Not anything formalized as all other options require a merchant account which I don't want to get into just yet.
I mean I have Venmo and Zelle but not sure if you're into any of those.

I thought I had set adrift into the Internet abyss when the old redirect quit working and I hadn’t bookmarked the new page. Thanks to whoever posted the link at the old place a day or two ago. Big thanks for setting this up! It looks great!!
