After giving up in disgust today after two weeks of not making RR work on a new server, a former developer for UBB Threads offered a patch that he thought might work. I applied it, made some other changes, and we are online ere on the new server. Effective immediately, ReaderRant can now be found at https://readerrant.com or https://www.readerrant.com

Please also note that entering the URL https://readerrant.capitolhillblue.com now redirects to https://readerrant.com

I had to work for a while to get the final formatting into place, but it seems to be working now. Please log on to your user account and let me know if you have any problems.

That's the good news. The bad news is that anyone who logged on and posted anything Sunday afternoon or evening lost it because that was not part of the database that was finally filtered and posted. My bad, but I didn't want to mess anything else up on this thing.

Please give us a try and let me know if you have any problems.

Please also know that we are still planning to port all the data from the UBB Threads platform to PHPBB because it is up-to-date and Threads is not updating, as far as I can find.

Thanks so much for all the moderators who have kept RR up and running and those who contributed financially to our efforts. It helped more than you know.
