As you all undoubtedly know, the MBs were down for an extended period of time. As such, AD Turtle and I have re-established a new set of MBs, hosted directly off EHNet (at http://www.ehnet.org/mb/). These new MBs run off the ELS (EHNet Login System) or otherwise known as MinosNIC login. This means you need to register a handle at http://els.minos.net/ in order to use the MBs. We know that many of you may be disappointed by loss of your post count or previous post counts. We are currently attempting to retrieve the latest backups from the former COMM for purposes of archiving the previous posts so people can refer to previois discussions they were having. If we are successful in acquiring the backups, we will investigate the feasibility of recording post counts externally so that they can be retained. We would appreciate your cooperation until then (and even afterwards). We understand the issue at hand and are working on it. In the meantime, AD Turtle deserves everyone's gratitude for getting the MBs back up within a day of being asked to integrate it with the ELS.

Questions regarding the MB should be directed to myself or Turtle.

In other news, XPS administration is coming along well - the hardest part is done (i.e. the functions to create the individual poll components). Hopefully we'll be able to give you some previews/screenshots by next week!

Also, Alex Foley has set up a Bug Tracker for Squadfirst+. We know many people have been having troubles lately, so if you run into any bugs, please head on over to http://ortho.minos.net/ to report the bug. Thanks for your assistance!
