John says we're up but we still have some configuration problems, but they're going to have to wait until he gets home (3 hours). His laptop is not working and the only way he can get in is by his phone and that's giving errors. He's afraid others on mobile devices may be getting errors too. We're on a new version of the db software now and apparently there are some compatibility issues. And we're sporting some new drives including a new SSD (solid state) drive. Should be working pretty good after he works out the configuration problems, then he has to finish the sha-256 installation for security for credit cards. Then on to a total redesign of the system. It never ends.
Thank you all very much for hanging in there with us.
God bless.
YOU, SAID IT!!!!
Welcome back.
iOS 10.3.1 working just fine.
Great Job to both of you! And Thanks for everything you do!
I don’t worry about the credit card thing. I just send old fashioned checks in snail mail. One is going out to you today.
Glad to see FB is back.
I I looked in the mirror this morning, and I think I’m better looking since FR is back up.
Great to see FR back up and running. Thanks for helping fight the good fight. “Never give up, never surrender!” Posting from the Arabian Peninsula. God bless.
What a wonderful surprise this morning! Thanks for all your updates Jim and thanks to John for all he has done to get freerepublic back up again.
When I found and then finished the thread it was at thirty seven, wonder what it will be in the 10 minutes it took with interruptions?
...and by the way weren’t we in the middle of a quarterly fundraiser?
...and thanks are due for perservering in our behalf. I hope the lot appreciates what you folks go through for the site.
and maybe the last comment would be, none of us lasts forever, when John or Jim are gone, then what? From one past the age of enlightenment.
We don’t need a “special prosecutor” to investigate this outage.
Tell John not to sweat the mobile-phone problems that he detected: FR is working well on my Android, even better than before the crash.
Thank you Jim and John!
Thanks, Jim.
Thought I was going to die!
iPad here. No problems thus far.
It’s good to be back! Thank you for all of your dedicated work! Over the last few days, I think we all got a glimpse of what real hell is like. I missed my FReeper FRiends, warts and all!
One question, Jim, if you don’t mind my asking. In the event that, God forbid, something terrible happens to you or John, is there a contingency plan for FR? Is FB all there is, or is there a game plan in mind for continuing FR should the unthinkable happen?
May God richly bless you and yours!
I am on my Note 5 Android and the site is working great. Thank You guys for your hard work.

Personally, I love the site more knowing it is a small business, completely independent, run by real people.
Same here. iPad mini.
