DB Maintenance performed this morning

[Jason Clark]

This morning we performed some db maintenance, outage was about an hour and a half.

Thanks

Is there any chance we could get the slightest warning in advance next time? We appreciate the work, but it's a pain to have the forums suddenly shut off.

Ditto Was worried when i couldn't post last night (finally figured out it's cos my friend is using AOL dialup while he's waiting to get ADSL) and then couldn't get here this morning! Then finally thought it might be some maintainence, which it was!

Maybe a post on main AT site while it's happening, or some different, tempary index page explaining?

Sorrry, it is not always possible, if we can warn we would but it needed to be taken care of, and at 3am on a sunday morning that is the best time for it. We'll see if we can do a temp page though

I figured you were doing DB maintance routines due to the hour of the nite but got a tad worried when you went past the 1 hr mark
