If anyone has noticed I have not been posting much here lately. Not that most would notice my presence or absence of presence since presently and always I have an Open Salon bottom-feeder with very few Covers, Rates, Comments and EPs (at least I don't have ED).
Like most Open Salon bloggers, I have been frustrated with the server and spam issues. However, I did not join the others by blogging elsewhere. I decided to take a passive wait and see approach and check in on Open Salon every now and then.
Last night, I went to the site using my tablet, and I was surprised to see how fast the page loaded. Being skeptical, I logged in, and it went smoothly. Next I read through a couple of blogs, but did not comment or rate. Since it was late in the evening, I figured it was some sort of wishful-thinking induced hallucination; so I decided to wait until morning and see what happened.
As of this writing, I was able to log in without a hitch, surf some blogs and now I'm writing this post without out a problem...yet.
If this keeps up, it would lead me to believe that the server migration has been completed and it has been successful. Interesting enough there has NOT been an official announcements from the powers-that-be. Maybe they are afraid of jinxing the whole thing.
Let me see what happens when I hit Publish!

All fixed? say it's so. Been waiting patiently.
I couldn't quite believe it, but it appears to be true, and if there are still some bugs, they appear to be on the way out. I could even get to my inbox without difficulty. Gives one hope.
I wonder how many former OSers will migrate back -- or at least cross-post. And if a lot of them do, will it bring about a recurrence of the problems? And I too wonder about the lack of any communication from the supervisory crew.
Oh, and I don't think I'd ever have considered you a bottom-feeder here. You wouldn't be on my faves list if you were (a snork for my arrogance).
Navigation seems right on the mark.
Posting a comment still is not fixed, but we should be happy with what has improved.
Here's hoping more improvement is on the way. The site is a quality site and deserves better than it has been getting.
For me:Easy entry,easy commenting,and hopefully,easy posting.
How about the inbox?Haven't tried that one yet.
Can't say I blame the PtB for not offering an update as giving an accounting generally resulted in an unpleasant backlash..
Rated for daily visits and even a comment now and then :).
I just examined the 50 most recent posts, it looks like about 75% of posts are spam. That is a small improvement over previous months.
However, if spam is the source of problems, OS likely is not safe yet.
Enjoy 2013.
On this, my fourth anniversary as a spell-check enabler.
Long live the digital age! Long live the digital age!
