I want to apologize for taking the site offline earlier today and I'd like to provide an explanation.

The forum was updated last night with the latest version of vBulletin software so my Website Developer could make changes to the site. My primary goal was to create a "Hidden" Section and to remove the member's location information from public view.

I received a PM this morning from a member who advised me that he could still see the location field under his User Name but the field was populated with his Last Name. Although I was unable to replicate the condition using my test User Name "RXP" - I wasn't willing to take any risks and I shut the site down. Protecting the identities of the members of this forum is my highest priority.

My Website Developer has reversed some of the changes he made last night and will be working on the site this evening. I hope to have all the changes completed in the next 24 hours.
