Beth, the short answer is no, we don't have regular planned maintenance outages built into the schedule. However, when the backup scripts are running, something it bogs things down.

I've been curious to know if there are regular downtimes built in. I've noticed lately that I often can't access AW during the mid- to late-morning hours. I get one of those "This page cannot be displayed" errors, although the internet is otherwise fine. My time zone is GMT +1, so that would mean the outtages are occuring in the early morning hours Pacific Time.

From time to time, I have this issue too. I did this morning around 9ish EDT, but that's around 3 in the afternoon for you in Europe. Perhaps the backup scripts run multiple times a day.

That could explain it. Thanks.

I get this quite often as well. Usually earlier. I just wait for it to come back. It's happening more often though. Which I assume is why you're having the upgrade?

Damn! Okay, end of complaining. I'll miss you folks. Guess I'll see you on Monday.

I'll help by sighing wistfully and looking at the clock.:e2bummed:

I will help by clicking refresh repeatedly to find out if the site is up yet. ;)

I know Ann's kidding, but please don't keep checking.

It'll slow things down.

As soon as it's OK to come back in, we'll announce it far and wide, but there's going to be here-and-gone syndrome as I work on testing, so please please please wait for an announcement.

Thanks for all the good wishes; they do help motivate the hamsters.
