NikonRumors.com was just moved to a new server at HostDuplex. The old server could no longer handle the traffic and an upgrade was necessary. You probably already noticed that NikonRumors is now a “secure” website (HTTPS) which is the industry’s standard today:
Several other changes were also introduced on the back end that should improve the speed of the blog. The comments sync is still ongoing and may take a few more hours. If you see any strange behavior, please add a comment to this post and I will look into it.
