Website hosting server maintenance
The IRSA website hosting provider has indicated that they are doing maintenance on a back end server.
They have advised me that this will take place:
Start: 2023-10-12, 10:00 PM ET
End: 2023-10-13, 01:00 AM ET
The website and forum may be unavailable during this time.
The IRSA web site and forum have been moved to a new hosting provider and platform
As of August 6, 2023 the domain radiosailing.org is now hosted on a new service and platform.
Existing usernames and passwords for the forum have been migrated to this new platform.
The login link is now at the top of the right hand pane and can be used for forgotten passwords (reset).
This new hosting service provides improved management capabilities, including an email server for the @radiosailing domain at a reduced cost from the original hosting service. The website now runs on WordPress which is more easily supported than the original site.
