No Updates For Tuesday ..

I've not felt well all Monday. We'll try for updates on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, I hear that the Old Willys Forum is down. Here's more information on that from Pete from the Facebook page:

"A huge Thanks to everyone for being patient while we rework the forum! We've been down for nearly a week now, way longer than I expected... In the last nine years, the forum has never been down for more than 24 hours.

The conversion of the forum database to the new forum software is well underway,.... Getting the image attachments and gallery reconnected is the hardest part, and takes the longest. Once we get the basic forum up and running, we will be adding all the details back into the forum (graphics, icons, avatars, new features,etc) over the coming weeks."

Dave, first of all hope you feel better soon! And thanks for the update on the Old Willys Forums. I found this interesting but I don't know how to start a post so I'll try to include it here. https://youtu.be/NpTLaL4yRg4 Hope this works, John

Thanks All! I am feeling better today. John: Thanks for the video. That worked perfectly. That 8x8 was last for sale in 2012: http://www.ewillys.com/2012/08/11/1953-wagon-8x8-kingman-az-7500/

A friend of mine that works in the IT dept for wisconsin text me yesterday to be aware that Wisconsin has detected malware on the old willys forum.

Good to know Joe. I just checked Sucuri and found that the old site may well have been infected. It looks like the new site is clean, but that the forum needs to contact a couple organizations to get the site off of a couple blacklists. Here's what I learned: https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/oldwillysforum.com Fortunately, eWillys came back clean (I do need to update the system core, but haven't yet)

I have always had a problem with the Willys forum website, for years, finally gave up. Take care of yourself Dave, and begin eating healthy.
