Hello Everyone, With recent issues on the server, some of which were created by outside sources and some regretfully by myself; I will be "Restoring" the server to its original state as of Nov. 14, 2012... I have been consulting with higher authorities to get many issues resolved and we have come to this "Restore" as the best option for everything that has occurred... With this said, I have to regretfully inform everyone that I am losing ANY data and posts/threads after Nov. 14... They cannot give me an exact time for completion, but do state everything should be up and running within 24 hours I do not know when the actual down time will begin, but should anyone wish to contact me, I have a temp email: beschen1@gmail.comThank you for your patience! Keep you fingers & toes crossed ! ! ! Jim

Hello Everyone,
First and foremost, Thank You for your patience! We are Back Online ! ! !
With that said, I was able to get everything back with one exception, that I have found so far, any attachment made after Nov. 14 may not be available/present...
I had one hell-of-a-time getting the server restored, etc, etc...
I still have more work to accomplish, but I'll get there...
Wheeeeewwwww ! ! ! I'm glad that is over ! ! !

Jim, I did a quick search for Soda Machines to find the SMC site link. I clicked on the home page link and it worked great but when I click on the SMC Discussion page I get the virus warning. The Soda Machines & Syrup Dispensers link works fine.

I may have the Photo Gallery functioning again... Viewing is not a problem; however, I created a new album without incident but did receive a few errors while uploading new photos of a recent Stoner Jr restoration... Surprisingly, the photos are there and display properly. I have since made additional modifications that may remove the errors while uploading... Anyone that create a new album and uploads photos, please let me know if there are any issues during the process... Thanks again for everyone's patience...
The Old "attachments" in the SMC Discussion Areas is troubling me ! ! !
