Community site maintenance 15/04

[chrispurvey]

We're rolling some fixes tomorrow(11am) to fix some backend bugs. We're doing this in stages so you shouldn't notice any impact while on and around our community site.
Please shout up if you see anything you don't think is right or if you have any problems logging into the site.
We'll post on here once the work has completed.
(Sorry guys this isn't related to the duplicate posting)

When you say from 11am
How long do you estimate this will take

[Chris]

Up to 6 hours in total. It's being rolled to a server at a time and tested before it's put back in service.

Lets hope it all goes to plan EH!!

The forum is even slower than usual if that is possible so it isn't quite working as promised
Unless the fact of taking a server off line drastically affects the speed of response.
If this is the case how about adding another few servers to the cluster and sod the cost

Also running very slowly here today.  Each trip to get next post taking 20 -30 seconds!  Almost unusable at this performance level.

Also running very slowly here, I thought it was my computer playing up, until I seen this thred.

Been getting this error intermittently for a while now :/

[Chris]

We don't think the slowdowns are caused by the maintenance, we're getting someone to take a look.

[Chris]

Should be a bit snappier now, we found an issue and sorted it. Let us know.

[Strat]

Much better :)

We've had a delay with the fixes we wanted to roll, so we've only just started the planned work at around 4pm.
No hiccups are expected but shout up if anything seems amiss.
