Mumsnet offline tonight for around 30 minutes at around 11.30

Mumsnet will be offline tonight (Monday 7th December) for around 30 minutes. This is to allow us to perform a major hardware upgrade. I can't tell you the exact time yet, but it will likely be around 11:30pm.

If all goes well you shouldn't notice any differences once it is back online - it should be noticeably faster during subsequent busy periods but that probably won't be appreciable at around midnight when things are getting quieter anyway. If anything does seem amiss then please do post on this thread.

Anybody that wants to know the very second that it is back online can add "[email protected]" on MSN for an instant message.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Slur · 07/12/2009 23:15

While we're waiting... Do you want a funny story or a news worthy item..?

Nah, soz Wilf. Can you imagine the utter mayhem that would ensue if we allowed embedding on posts?

Meanwhile, you've got 16 minutes of bollocks left. I think I shall not post a video about that though.

Wotcha Wilf, only YMT is allowed cos he is a rebel.. look at his hero

WilfSell · 07/12/2009 23:12

Oh. Ah. It is only YOU allowed to EMBED, YMT, or can we all do it? It started playing all by itself too.

You will start a trend.

No. 11.30 exactly please. I need my 20 mins of talking bollocks before bed.

Slur · 07/12/2009 23:12

Of course, what I ought to do is not post it on this page, but on every page. Now that will do it...

Slur · 07/12/2009 23:05

Hey there me ol' muckers...

What you need to do YMT is annoy everyone enough to make them abandon mumsnet a while

Tis a theatre of bafflement to me, Wilf

plumpud · 07/12/2009 22:52

yeah good ta.. apart from the actual RL bit

and are we using bb or html?? lol.. cos I could make me self an xmas ticker!!

WilfSell · 07/12/2009 22:51

ah.

Anyhow.

Boys! Slur! You dark ladies of the night, I never see you around.

And rofl at YMT 'emoticons are not my department'. I reckon it is like Spooks at MNHQ, with Tariq and Ruth sat around being all clever and stuff. One on emoticons, and one feeding the donkey more carrots to get it to pace faster.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 07/12/2009 22:49

nope nor change in font colour matey

(how are you !!! mwah)

WilfSell · 07/12/2009 22:49

I don't have red text. Does that mean I am a. specially favoured, or b. left out.

I think we should be told.

plumpud · 07/12/2009 22:48

BALD!!! I need to know one thing.. does your font colour change show in preview?

( BCNS btw with pretty xmas dress on)
