11:30 AM CST - There is an issue on the server hosting the photos from the last two days.  Please bear with me, the problem is being resolved as soon as possible.  I will post a message as soon as the problem is fixed.

12:10 PM CST - I am shifting the M1 and M1 Panther photos over to a different server.  These should all be available in the next hour.  We are still working on resolving the problems on the new server.  I am also looking into hardware and connection options to increase the performance and reliability of the site.

4:38 PM CST - I just got back in the office and it appears the problems are resolved.  Sorry for the problems.

11:15 PM CST - Everything is back to working.  There are now plans in the works to upgrade much of the Prime Portal website.  If everything progresses as planned, speed, reliability, and performance will all be improved.  More news on this as it is available.

New updates for tonight.

I spent the day working on a new server for Prime Portal.  This brings the total to six servers running Prime Portal.  The number of concurrent connections is almost tripled!  With any luck, the red-x problem that crops up from time to time should be a thing of the past.
