THIS IS NOT A DRILL: short site outage from 10.30am TODAY

[RowanMumsnet]

Morning folks,

The Tech team need to take the site down for about ten minutes to fix something in the database that's causing problems. We're planning on doing this at 10.30am, so in about ten minutes.

Hopefully we'll only be offline for ten minutes or so. See you by the kettle.

Thanks
MNHQ

Ok. Who's nipping out for a fag then?

I'll join you Poledra, after I've got dressed!

The tech team are nipping out for a fag - hence the outage

Oh, that explains the blank screen.

They don't have to do out-of-hours maintenances?

All done - thanks

"They don't have to do out-of-hours maintenances?"

I think they used to, EBear, at about 3.15 am - I vaguely recall that from a few years ago, but that doesn't seem to happen now though (not that I would know ). But MainTech (who is one of the founder members of MN), lives in New York.
