Extended downtime coming soon for software upgrade
There will be an extended downtime in the next few days for a major software upgrade, which is expected to last a couple of hours.
I'm sorry I don't have an exact timeframe to give you at this point, but it should happen sometime in the next few days, in the early evening GMT (click here for an idea of when that will be in your time zone).
If you are posting during this time, make sure you highlight and copy each post to your clipboard before hitting the 'submit' or 'preview' button, especially for long posts, just in case we go down while you're posting. If this happens, you can then paste it to Notepad or a comparable program, and save it until we're back up again. If you forget to copy a post and Runboard goes down, try hitting the 'Back' button on your browser to retrieve it for later, and hope it doesn't disappear.
Board owners and admins may want to avoid doing any extensive customizing of your boards around this time of day until the upgrade is finished, in case you make a mistake or have incomplete customizations right before the downtime starts. This is completely up to you, of course, and any changes you make just before the downtime starts should still be there when we come back online.
If I can get more specific information before the downtime, I'll post it in a reply to this topic, so subscribe to this topic for further updates. For now, just be aware that this extended downtime is expected to happen very soon.

Re:
So would that be between like 3PM-7PM GMT right? Or do we go with Mississippi's definition of anytime between lunch and dinner?

Re: Extended downtime coming soon for software upgrade
Lol. Probably something like that at this point. I'm thinking it might be closer to 5 or 6pm GMT and around lunchtime or so in Mississippi, but I don't want to narrow it down too much and end up being wrong.
Edit because I messed it up, which should say something about the uncertainty.

Re: Extended downtime coming soon for software upgrade
Sooooooo, any updates? Is it over? Did it go well?
Really should put how things went and if the time for these Downtime's is over, so that if people want to go back to changing important things around on their boards, they will know if it's safe or not to bother yet.

It hasn't happened yet, and I still don't know when it will.
