<TECH MAINTENANCE KLAXON>

[KatherineMumsnet]

Hi folks,

Tomorrow at 8am the site will be offline very briefly (and we do mean brief, 15 minutes max) for some planned tech maintenance.

Thanks!

8am?

Schools will be inundated by harrassed mothers turning up on time with their kids.

God, I may have to wave DS out the door to go to college.

It's first day of half term tomorrow so no dashing out of the door for me. What am I going to do instead.

Couldn't you do it in the middle of the night?!

I thought if you sounded the klaxon you had to provide pictures of juicy spots?

I am very disappointed (not angry, disappointed)

8am!!!! That's prime mning time.

I learned on QI the other day that Klaxon is actually a registered trademark for a particular alarm or siren, similar to Kleenex or Hoover or whatever. So MNHQ I hope you have paid your royalties

S'okay, my DC's school have an inset day so I'll still be asleep at 8 am

I hope you're nuking all the pissing autoplay ads.

Ooh! Is he getting rid of the non-mn emoticons and the video ads that slow everything down?

I assume you'll post on Facebook and Twitter at least once a minute in that time to keep us entertained?
I possibly need to get out more...

I am hoping it might make the mobile site run more smoothly. I am finding it rather jerky and sticky, with unwanted ads popping up and causing problems.

Oh bloody hell, that's a bit inconvenient.

Fifteen, FIFTEEN minutes??

What am I to do??

Yabu, klaxons are for sporn only.

We have seen the lower part of at least some Tech faces, when they were posted (couple of years ago?)

I think it's a bit unfair to scrutinise them for pus.

I am going to see how much useful stuff I can get done in 15 mins...

Was that it, then?

❓

I went to the MN Twitter account to look for a
"we're down"
message and there was none.

Got loads done!!

Pages still jumping around, so whatever they did, it wasn't to fix that.
