site maintenance

DanMcG · Jul 18, 2012

Why is site maintenance done during prime evening time? can't it be done in the wee hours of the night like every other site?
9 pm east coast and 3 members on the site after a 15-20 maintenance shut down.

Rant off

Don't go there SS. You ain't been here long enough.

Its all Good...

It is an issue, it happens quite frequently, usually earlier in the day.
Not really a big deal if your just browsing the forum, but if your in the middle of a long post and lose everything, then it is a real bummer.
As Dan said, most sites do maintenance in the off hours, or at the very least, they give members a warning prior to the shut-down.
Either would be a very welcome courtesy.

We asked if they can do it over night and they said they do it during the day while they have all the staff there in case there is a problem.

The result, if you haven't seen it yet, is an alteration on posting Qviews in messages, definitely slicker and more protective for the board, and I am sure many other fixes and mods too.

I noticed one difference. If I had to go back into a Post more then once to Edit or make a change, I would have to Refresh the Page to make the changes. Now I can go back multiple times and edit at will...JJ

Not bad, I found my way, so it can't be all that bad.

pops6927 · Jul 19, 2012

Updates occur on Thursdays unless it's a major bug fix that has to be done immediately. The only constant is change, electronic media included.

Like Martin said give a damn heads you would ya please. they must be capable of sending out a Pm to all the members saying "we'll be doing PM at X pm pst and it will last for x amount of minutes."

It just happened again and has happened several times since Dan started this thread.
Shutting everything down abruptly without notice sure doesn't seem like a friendly way to welcome newcomers during prime time.
I was in the middle of a long post about kippered trout and I lost everything!!! I won't attempt to post it again tonight!! :mad:
Sure seems pretty inconsiderate!

chef jimmyj · Jul 27, 2012

Well today they Fixed who knows what but now an OLD PROBLEM is Back...If I want to Edit a post more than once, I have to Refresh the page before it will let me type any changes...This was fixed just recently...JJ

diggingdogfarm · Jul 27, 2012

I wish they'd switch to real forum software like vbulletin!
I hope that remark doesn't get me banded, there's a lot of money at stake! LOL :biggrin:
So, if I disappear, you'll all know why!!!

Got me last night and do we really think it'll get better? They just flip flop the problems each time there's a maintenance.
