After Filmtracks' longtime service provider, NTT Communications, erroneously shut down the site for 52 hours last month, I decided to move Filmtracks to a less expensive and more powerful solution at Amazon Web Services. This migration and subsequent stabilization process is complete.

You will notice faster load times and more reliable connections to the site from overseas. Please let me know (by email or on the Scoreboard) if you are still experiencing significant latency issues accessing any page at Filmtracks.

Also, I decided to shift Filmtracks to an SSL certificate during this transition so that all access to the site is secure. The last few weeks have been spent ensuring that all software and pages at the site with insecure content (mainly hard-coded images at the old, insecure URL) are re-coded to utilize secure connections.

Please note that there will remain some older, archived pages at Filmtracks with mixed secure and insecure content. These pages may cause your browser to display a security certificate error. (This is harmless.) All Scoreboard archives should be accessible without such issues, however.

As always, I appreciate the support from the readership and look forward to resuming coverage now that the server situation should be resolved for several years moving forward.

Thanks again,

Christian
