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.
