Heads Up - Possible Downtime Thursday Early Evening

[Grant]

Hi everyone,

This is just a heads up about some possible downtime between 6-10pm tomorrow (Thursday)... I'll confirm if its definitely happening nearer the time...

During this time the forum won't be accessible, this is so we can make some big changes aimed to help the forum expand, stay balanced and provide a safe, secure and friendly home for all astronomers...

Cheers,

Grant

Just what we like and hopefully worth the wait... and the withdrawal symptoms... :crybaby: :tongue3:

I guess I'll just have to get on with the housework then.. Oh wait, think of the brownie points I'll get

I'm intrigued as to the big changes...

Downtime is definitely happening, from about 6ish onwards..

We hope to be back up asap, hopefully before 10pm

I feel sorry for whoever had to wade through posts to move them to the relevant new sections!

Top work guys!

We all have, but that the main reason for the down time. To move the posts so that there are no empty sections.

Older posts can be moved as and when we get a chance.

But I have to say that I've found some older posts that are going to be quite usefull

Well done Grant at al ... down from 6ish to just after 10pm - just as you said. Pull yoursleves a beer from the SGL "virtual bar".

[blinky]

Was starting to get cold sweats and shakes. A whole night without SGL

Oh one thing I appear to have lost my icon/theme/picture thingy, you know the one at the side of your postings?

Anyways off to bed now that I can relax again. Good work folks, will need to have a proper look around tomorrow, Panicked for a second when I could not find the lounge!!!

[Ant]

We haven't made any changes to peoples profiles, I'll have a look at yours and see if I can work out whats wrong.

Cheers, It's no biggy. One thing though is the new posts since last visit appears to not be working. I got an email through regarding this post but when clicking the new posts button this was not listed.

Just to let you know likes!!! Anyway I have been doing some work on the office Exchange servers so it's off to bed for me now!

[Ant]

Can't find anthying wrong with you settings.

So I'll mention it to Grant, see ig he can shed some light.

How about a refresh page ??

Ctrl and F5 i think

[Ant]

Refresh is F5, a forced Refresh is CTRL + F5.

I believe that the CTRL+F5 forces the pages in the cache to be updated?

[daz]

It does Ant

I like the new layout, e.g. the more specific equipment discussion sections, and the buy/sell sections brought back to the main board.

It's all good

Andrew
