Male Portrait Gallery - Possible Interruption

My web hosting has been moved by the hosting company to a new server, which required a change in my nameservers.

The change over may cause some interruption in male portraits, but should fix itself without too much downtime.

Well, the lovely people who moved everything seems not to have actually MOVED everything.  They've misplaced the whole rpolportraits directory.

I've opened a support ticket.

We're getting close.  They found the file, but then put it in the public html directory rather than the subdirectory, and then they moved it into a folder into subdirectory instead of placing the pics into the subdirectory directly... and I don't currently have access to my FTP software to do it myself.

We'll see if third time's the charm ... and hopefully ALL the pics will be there when it's done.

Male Portrait Gallery - Possible Interruption

And everything seems to be working once again.

No offense to any IT people there, but I swear ... every IT guy I've EVER worked with never tests anything they do to see if it actually worked.

I did this.  It should work.  Bye.

It didn't work.

Really?  It should have worked.

It's not working.

I'll take a look at it.  .... Okay, try it now.

It's half working.

Are you sure?  It should have worked.

Look, right here.  See?  It's not working.

I don't know why it's not working.

It was working before you touched it.  Now either put it back like it was, or fix it.  And this time, when you've fixed it, check and see if it's fixed.  Don't just assume that it's fixed.  You're not the IT equivalent of Michael Jordan.  Make sure the slam dunk didn't just bounce off the rim, hmmm?

I do appreciate the help.  Really, I do ... but I'd really appreciate it if you just leave my stuff alone when it's working.   I'd like that most of all.

Yeah, I swear 90% of the people I met doing IT were there because they thought it would be an easy-peasy job and hated doing follow-up.  The other 10% of us eventually leave because we're tired of cleaning up after them (and the customers).
