Trouble with our Message Board
Current mood: frustrated

Greetings IOHP members. I am having trouble getting onto our message boards. When I can get onto them I can't post anything. Is anyone else having this problem? I have tried to write an e-mail to the tech support of our host, but it was returned to me as undeliverable (not a good sign.) I may need to move the message board to a new provider. If it comes to that I will notify all of our members.
