Forum Maintenance - April 5, 2017

[kenny]

The forums will be undergoing scheduled maintenance at 9PM MT on April 5, 2017. During this maintenance period, new posts and private messages will be disabled. We anticipate the maintenance will take approximately 4 hours.

The forums will be (should be) available for reading during this time. New threads, new/editing posts and any interaction with the private message system will result in 404 errors during the maintenance period.

:thumbsup:

We all look forward to the upgrade you've been testing diligently for the past few years.

[rage2]

If only the upgrade will take < 4 hours. :rofl:

Just doing some prep work to prepare for the upgrade work. ;)

[eglove]

omg are we actually upgrading @rage2 ??

[rage2]

Hopefully, in the next couple of months, we will have a test site for users to test drive and make some suggestions to usability and what not before moving over for good. Still in the planning stages right now.

Today's maintenance will upgrade our server capacity significantly to handle any upgrades. In theory...

[D'z Nutz]

Of course not.

They're using the 4 hours to restore the Jailbait thread.

That's awesome news :poosie:

On the front end side, nothing at all yet.

The back end is completely re-engineered and moved to the cloud (AWS) where it automatically scales up and down when necessary.

This was Mibz, kenny and I last night... :rofl:

Was just about to ask wtf is up with my "Show New Posts" not working.

[rage2]

Well gee that was fun. You'd think working at a time tracking company I'd have a better concept of time here haha.

Should be all fixed now. Sorry for the issues, and of course ~3 hrs of time travelling posts. :rofl:

[rage2]

One more 5 min outage coming right up to fix another issue.

edit - done.
