Title: Site Downtime
Post by: rknize on Tue, 20 August 2013, 22:31:33

There will be a brief downtime later tonight while I upgrade the forum software.  It should only last for a few minutes.

WOHA...sorry that took so long.  My test only took a few minutes, but it took about an hour on the production server.  Also, apologies for that misleading downtime message about restoring backup databases.  That was nonsense.  No rollbacks happened.  No data was lost.

Thanks!

Well the upgrade finished 3 minutes before you posted that, so your claim is mathematically improbable.  :)

I sent a PM a few minutes ago - went straight away.

I'm sorry rknize, i lied about it, I'm bored, and you took it away from me for so long. I might have gone a bit insane.

Haha...hey no worries.  Next time I won't assume it'll be a quick thing.  :p
