Either the forum was broke for a few seconds just now - or this popup was wrong

I had the outage too Jim.  You beat me to the post   I just got 500 errors - No maintenance screen.

Just getting things prepped and ready for the changes going live tonight.

Sorry that this popped up for a few seconds while the system pulled in the changes ready for this.

Extremely poor planning  @jaread83

[#5]

Is it though @MauriceC? I pushed changes up to the 'preview' version of the live site so our QA team can test new functionality and make sure everything is ready before going live tonight. I don't think that is poor planning at all.

The intention was good - the choice of timing poor.  Upload to the 'preview' server should not affect the 'Live' service.

Note:  i didn't get the 'Maintenance' screen just 500 error

I apologise for that and take responsibility for the short outage.

The preview version is all of the changes uploaded to the live site but not fully merged into full view of everyone being able to see it. This just means that we can do sanity checks on everything with real data before pushing forward with going live.

I am currently in the process of making sure that everything works and composing a thread with details of everything that has changed.

Sanity checks?
