I am so sorry, I know exactly how you feel. As a past systems programmer for many years with the state of New York, I have been on both sides of the issue, both having to scramble to survive a company’s error and causing the error for users down the line. It all boils down to comprehensive planning and timing. A global company should understand you cannot discontinue service without considering the time needed for the data to be moved. Users need time to find a replacement company, make necessary changes, move some data to test the new application, repeat if necessary. Only thirty days for the move plus having to maintain your business is not considerate. Also, the original company has to consider the strain of greatly increased data movement on their platform, which they obviously didn’t. My comment to that is “expletive deleted” IDIOTS! Breathe. Be well.
Yikes! We know how committed you are to your community and content. You have cultivated a consistent presence of your values, so it’s easy to feel like all will be well. But what a huge disruption for you. Such a difficult situation. Cheering you on.
I’m so sorry…. It’s stressful enough ‘having’ to move platforms and now this… everything will work out but that doesn’t make it any less a pain in the 🫏
Awe Val, I am so sorry. But I know your following will be patient while the system comes back up... We just appreciate you and all you share with us. Please take a breath. Glad you had everything backed up -We will be patient for you! Huggs

Oh my gosh! So much stress when you are working to provide new material as well and keep a small business going. Stay strong!
Wow - soooo stressful! I’ve been revisiting the courses recently and love them so much. Hope all goes well with the new platform.
Val- I am so sorry this happened to you. Hopefully all will be resolved quickly.

So sorry, Val. So much extra work.
I am also relieved. I’m sorry this happened to you.
Too stressful! I can't imagine discovering that. Glad all is backed up and hopefully sorted soon.
