We're scheduled for some Forum Maintenance this coming Sunday night (3/11/07) and the Forum will be closed for (hopefully) a short period. This is step one of a long overdue software upgrade.

I'm not sure of the time at the moment, but I'd quess it would be after 9 pm EST.

For people using the chat area - I don't think that will be affected, (knocking wood here - [Linked Image] ) except if server has to be restarted, but there may be no link to get there, so you may want to bookmark that now.

Hopefully this will go smoothly and quickly. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Well if I never see you guys again this has been fun. Be well!

Sorry I just did a "little" upgrade on my FILs XP machine and he is still down.
Good Luck [Linked Image]

Mike,

The real determining factor regarding time is going to be when I can actually get the person doing the work to come in ... [Linked Image]

Yep, they've changed it in the U.S. to start in March instead of April.

British Summer Time doesn't begin here in the U.K. until March 25.
Bill, out of curiosity, does this update also have anything to do with DST?

Ian,

No, not at all. We're just trying to move to newer and fuller-featured software.

10-4. Just noticed the time's here are an hour behind and thought I'd ask.

All right, everything is back online and working like it should. The slightly refreshed look may take some getting used to but the REAL PROBLEM are the HUGE LIGHT BULBS on the Forums list! They might already be illegal in California and soon will become so in Australia.
Enlarge the space for each bulb, and you might be able to use CFLs. Now THAT would have been Progress! Wait until the climate change guys find out!! They will teach you!! laugh laugh laugh

You seemed to have changed URLs for the individual BBs (old ones give a real ugly message)and my login did not autostart. Guess I have to go reload my icons.

Just a heads up, they will probably change again. It would probably be easier to put existing threads into an archive, but we're doing our best to keep them active and open.
