@TimG nope wasn’t me, I went against the grain a bit and played around with the Z 14-24.

Wetpixel is on a much older version of Invision, as time passes Security vulnerabilities increase. Potentially allowing the site to be hacked, accounts compromised, new accounts created in order to scam current members. Be more cautions than normal on Wetpixel please. Thanks @jlaity for mentioning this as a warning to people still using Wetpixel classifieds.
Im not saying this happened but it's 100% possible. Seems that Adam is paying the bills currently on hosting and domain as well as he just updated the DNS on the domain to the new server. Maybe he is approving new accounts and rumaging around I don't know.

Here is what I know, the hosting provider had a major datacenter move for a bunch of there servers. The notice was sent out weeks ago that this would be happening. Moved server account holders will be given a new IP address for their servers when the move happens. DNS records for domain will need to be updated to new IP address for the site to be reachable again.
So this is where things are, the server was moved to new datacenter on new hardware & software and a new IP.
Adam should have been notified of this multiple times and he will need to change and update the DNS records to reflect the new IP for wetpixel.com or the server will never be able to be reached.
So I guess we wait and see if he ever updates that. I imagine even if it comes back, the days are still numbered when it does go offline permanently.
In reflection of the last year and our actions to get this site going when we did and migrate as many members as we have.. I’m thankful we did it and thanks to all of you for helping rebuild the community here. 👏

Upcoming Server Upgrade 😳
in Announcements
Hey everyone,
I’m excited to share that I’ll be upgrading our forum software to the latest version soon. This is a major update focused on backend improvements, enhanced security, and overall modernization. While I’m working hard to make the front end as close as possible to what we’re all accustomed to for this initial migration, you will notice some changes. Here’s what to expect:
Classic and Modern Themes
The current look and feel of the forum will be called “WPX Classic” and will remain the default for now.
After the migration settles, I’ll introduce a “WPX Modern” theme. You’ll have the option to switch between Classic and Modern based on your preference.
Even in the Classic theme, the forum will gain a more modern, functional experience.
Key Improvements
While there is an endless list of little things that are improved on the front & back end, here are a few of the key improvments.
Mobile: A significantly improved mobile browsing experience and App Setup.
Dark Mode: A native dark mode option will be available from launch.
My Streams Menu: A customizable view for sorting articles, posts, topics and even tags, moving beyond just showing “Unread All.”
Performance Improvements: Along with the software upgrade, I’m also moving the forum to a new server. This upgrade to both the software and hardware should provide noticeable performance improvements. While things have been running pretty well, now is the perfect time to make these enhancements.
Future Customization: This upgrade will enable us to introduce and customize future enhancements on both the back end and front end, giving us greater flexibility to adapt and improve over time.
Temporary Changes
Tags: Tags will be temporarily disabled at launch but will return soon as we digest how to use in the new system. The updated tagging system will be more useful, allowing features like creating streams based on tags and following your preferred tags.
The store will not be available initially after the migration. A new store will be launched soon.
Downtime Information
This migration is a large and complex task. I estimate that the forum will be offline for up to 4 hours during the update. I’ll try to keep the site accessible in guest mode during this time, but you won’t be able to log in.
Migration Timeline
The update will take place between April 12th and 15th. Once I finalize the exact date and start time, I’ll post an update here. I’ve already done a few dry runs, and I’m confident it should go smoothly.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to bring you these exciting updates. I’m confident this upgrade will not only enhance our community now but also set the stage for continued improvements and useful features in the future, providing a more secure and customizable platform for everyone.
I think thats it for now.. Stay tuned for more details.
