Apologies: Recent Minor Outages

[Erwin]

Over the past 2 days there has been 2 new releases of forum software, as well as new server software releases and a new server kernel.

As such, CF has been offline for a few minutes here and there as I spend time upgrading and securing the CF server.

I can now say that I've finally done all of it.

I apologise for any downtime. The server *should* be a bit quicker now.

Actually it is alot quicker. There were over 700 online yesterday, and it didn't even drag one bit on me.

Sorry, the server crashed, and we were offline for ?1 hour just now? I only found out just now and hard to manually reboot the hardware.

Things should be online now.

Things are good. and fast!

LOL Erwin my email goes down more than CF, no big.

 

[DJ B.K.]

I did notice that and wondered what was going on. It's all good though because CF does seem faster.

I also seem to have stopped getting that "bleeding page" thing using MSN explorer. Good work!

Every time I notice CF is off line I have flashbacks to the Crash of '03...

No problem...SOMETIMES THE WHOLE INTERNET IS DOWN...if that makes you feel any better...but you are doing a great job...you are a busy person...and you are doing a great job!

:shivers:

The big crash... we lost 250,000 posts and 2,000 member information then... yikes!

Thumbs up on the upgrade Erwin, over a 1000 online, and CF isn't missing a beat

Erwin, i wasnt here for it and things are running great.. but i was here for an upgrade a while back and i had just typed somethin really long and when i went to post i lost it.. needless to say it was frustrating, i was wondering when your about to do upgrades if you can alert everyone as to when, whether it be an announcement on the home page, or a MASS PM?

Good work Erwin!
