Site outage this evening...

#1

Post by admin »

The forum software was updated this evening.

Apologies for the unannounced downtime that lasted for approximately 90 minutes while I updated the forum software to the current release.

You may have noticed that ArizonaShooting.ORG was unreachable on Monday, January 6th from approximately 5:30 PM to appx 7:00 PM.

It wasn't you... it was us... well, me. My most sincere apologies.



Figured you may want a forum to complain, vent frustrations, etc.

Normally, I try to announce planned outages ahead of time, but needed to slip this one into a small window. I thought it would go seamlessly, but the web forum gods had other ideas. I was very close to reverting changes back and restoring (I back up hourly), but pushed on through.

This was a very big update on the back-end of the code which will allow for easier updates in the future.

One downside is that several of the features and plugins I've added need to be updated, so I had to disable them. I think I got them all, but if you notice an error or bug, please post it here so I can look at it and address.

Thanks!
