Title: Any idea...

How many more times the all-powerful host feels like "fixing" things?  >:(

The host forum doesn't give much detail about what they're doing or how long it'll take.  =/

actually, they did warn ahead of time about the server migration.  However their "warning" was through a post on their support forums, that we never check unless there is a problem, so we didn't see it.

And this last time it wasn't them doing anything, but rather it was a glitch in the new servers and they crashed.  But that sort of thing is expected when transferring that many sites to that many servers.

Oh, it was a glitch?  I went to their forums about ten minutes ago and read the first topic under "Announcements".  Is he talking about something else?

yeah, in the announcement section, they are talking about the server migration that happened last weekend and continued into this week.

Ohio, are we causing a problem by having so many youtube things in our music section?  You are probably rolling your eyes right now, I see that a lot from my tech oriented family :-[  But just in case I thought I would ask.

No mum, there is no problem.  This was a problem with the whole server (all 4 of them) and had nothing to do with our site in specific.  Keep posting away. O0

Like he said, you're good.  By way of explanation, even embedded youtube vids play from youtube's servers, and they add no more burden here than the total lines of text from the embed code.
