Site Upgrades and down time.

[mangus580]

I plan to do some upgrades to the site in the next week. In theory, it should only be down for about an hour. I am looking for suggestions on day/time. Although... that doesnt mean I wont just pick one myself

 

[Recovry4x4]

I would think weekday early afternoon as most who work will be working. Then again, lots of folks here are on while at work. Pick an hour, any hour!

Can you do it like 5 minutes a day for the next 12 days?

 

[mangus580]

Honestly.... I think it may only take me 15 minutes... just planning for the worst!

Once the upgrade is done.... I will have a suprise new feature shortly after

Do it during a time when we're distracted with other things like "Late Night with David Letterman" or "The Tonight Show" or SNL or............................

Good Luck with the upgrade, and a pleasant reminder to make a FULL backup of the site BEFORE the upgrade.

 

[CCATLETT1984]

Sorry Mike, but I had to say it. after all I am in IT.

 

[mangus580]

No problem... if you knew some of the mistakes I have made before, you would tell me to back it up TWICE

 

[Desert Rat]

Ok mike, back it up. Back it up. There, you wanted it twice!! (Y'know, put the little shifter thingy to the "R" position and hit the fuel!!!!)

Site 1... Mike 0???

 

[mangus580]

Nah, I am getting there. I think we have lost the 'Green' theme for a short bit here. I am working on it, but for now, we have to settle for the black one....

Pledge drive

I saw the reminder the other day that if we enjoy the site a little $$ your way wouldn't hurt. I don't remember seeing an address. Where do we send our pledges??? Are you offering tote bags?

PM's

Are the PM's working? I tried to send some and they seem to be stuck in the outbox.

 

[mangus580]

A PM in the outbox, is a PM that hasnt been 'recieved' yet, as in the recipient has not opened it yet.

Sorry a bit old school here, I don't have Pay Pal account and I really don't like to use credit card. Any way to mail a check? Sorry to be a pain.
