Title: NARGS web site
Post by: ChrisB on December 16, 2018, 12:41:49 PM: Trying to start my seed order but can’t access the site. Does anyone here know anything about what is happening?

Post by: GordonT on December 16, 2018, 01:07:47 PM: Not sure what is happening, Chris. I tried to access nargs.org today, to start my order and even the main site wouldn't load. Curious to know what others are experiencing, or know about what is going on.

Dear NARGS Friends, now our server has been upgraded so you may try to log on or complete your NARGS Seed Exchange order. So many people home yesterday tried to order simultaneously that we slowed and crashed. But now we have a premium server that should accommodate everyone at once. We do appreciate your patience. Thank you. –-NARGS Seed Exchange group

I was going to suggest they contact SRGC to find how to do it right, but figured that was too cheeky.
