Upgrading the forums today

[Anne]

Hopefully the forums won't be down for more than a few minutes - but we will attempt a major update today to patch some security holes.

Thank you all for your patience!

Well, if there was any blip, it happened while I wasn't around. Hope the work went/is going well.

 

[rarepuss]

The upgrade has not been completed yet. It may not be done for a few days still.

Good to know that. Less chance of anxiety in the event that we find the forums down

 

[Anne]

We have hired someone to do it. Hopefully it will be tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience everyone!

Also when it does happen, the forums will be shut down for about 45 minutes.

 

[rosiemac]

Ok then i'll do some work when it's down

 

[dawnofsierra]

Thank you for explaining the duration so we don't all go into panic mode!

 

[xocats]

Thanks for the info. I'm new to this site & might have done a furry freakout if I thought it was gone.

You wouldn't be alone! The last time it went down, I think there was a major panic going on!

Intellectually, I hear and understand every shred of perfectly rational reassurance that is offered. Unfortunately, it's my gut that operates the panic button. (But then, we know the gut and the intellect aren't on speaking terms.

)

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Should we expect any threads or posts to get lost in the shuffle during this update?
