Server downtime *notice*

[yeszir]

My hosts have informed me that there will be a "noticeably long downtime" sometime around midnight, October 7th. They are upgrading to an entirely new server, so hopefully after this upgrade the site will work as it should.

Just wanted to let you all know that things should be getting better.

"Noticeably Long" is a scientific term that means, "as long as it takes us to get our heads out of our asses".

Fun.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Thanks for the heads up. So I guess the difference is that this is now an " expected " downtime.

Exactly. And hopefully something positive will come out of it.

So how long is this supposed to take, a day, a few days?

They made it seem like a few hours, with some sluggish performance before/after.

[Coco's Disciples]

Oh. If its at midnight, thats not too bad.

Oh. If its at midnight, thats not too bad.

It is for us West Coast Affiliates. It's all good though. If it makes the site better, I'll live.

It seems to have worked. Nice job Yeszir.

I guess it was down longer than anticipated, but at least it came up. Hopefully the problems from the old server don't resurface.

I am having issues with it. Only the "new post" button works. I can't navigate around the site.

Really? Does it work now?

[a700hitter]

It's working now.

[BoSox34]

Works fine for me.

[yeszir]

Hopefully for good.
