Thought I would use this thread to let you know the site was down each time I checked yesterday.
I'm sure you already know this, but it is why I couldn't respond to the messages yesterday.

Thank you for the heads up, Gary. It was worse than just the site being down. The entire hosting service network was out. I could not even reach their server status webpage. I was worried for a moment because over the weekend I had to update my credit card info for their automated payment system. I was thinking maybe they didn't get it right and shut us down. But, we are still here. LOL I never did find out why their entire operation went down. Maybe they shut it down to sanitized it from any viruses.

Might not have been just them. A trunk line in Michigan was vandalized which brought down a lot of directly connected services from several areas of the country. Repairs took nine hours. Many services could not be rerouted due to no other available access links.
Several banking transactions and cellular service were affected.
