    I can't believe it's actually been 13 years since we welcomed you from the Channel 4 forums. A LOT has happened since then, and this core of very special people has stuck together. I appreciate you all, and I look forward to another year! Happy Anniversary!

    Site maintenance happening tomorrow

    Hi, all! It's time for another "site maintenance event", which will impact this site during the hours of 4pm tomorrow to 4am on Thursday. As usual, for most of the time you will notice nothing, but you may encounter our friendly robot occasionally, for periods of up to 30 seconds. Here's hoping it doesn't happen at a particularly bad time...

    Site maintenance happening today

    Hi, all: Our team will be performing maintenance on the the servers today. The maintenance is scheduled for 4pm tonight (your time) to 4am tomorrow. Most of the time you won't notice a thing, but sometime in that window, the site could be down for up to 10 minutes. So, as per usual in these circumstances, if you get the little robot guy, go fix a cup of tea, and come back in 10 minutes. :)

    Hi, all! We're going to change the little thingy that asks you to consent to cookies, and I just wanted to let you know that would be happening. If it gives you any trouble at all, please let me know, but the change will be happening today. Fingers crossed it goes without any trouble! :)

    I would like to wish all of you another anniversary!! Another year of sticking by each other through the all the stuff that goes on in our weird world, and caring about each other enough to check up on each other when someone goes radio-silent. You all are a very special kind of people, and I want to hug all of you (virtually, of course!) Happy Anniversary!

    Site maintenance happening tomorrow, December 15th
    Lori5 replies
    Hi, all: We're doing maintenance on the servers tomorrow (no software changes, I promise!) The maintenance window will be from 4pm to 4am on the 16th (your time). During that timeframe there will be the occasional outage of up to 30 seconds, but the site will be functioning normally most of the time. You know the drill: if you see the robot guy, you should go get a cup of tea (or maybe something stronger?) and/or a snack. By the time you get back, everything should be OK. :)

    Hi, all: There will be a very brief outage today as we roll out a minor release. You should notice no changes on the site, but i wanted you to know that, if you get the robot guy, it'll just be momentary. :)

    Software update happening on this site, Thursday, September 24th
    Lori24 replies
    We will be deploying a software update on Thursday that will require downtime. The window for the downtime starts at 4PM and ends at 7PM your time. During that window, the site could be down for up to 1 hour, but should be operating normally for most of the window. You may be interested in what's happening during this update. Ted wrote a blog post about it : the primary change is that the front page will have a "social feed" that will allow you to scroll through the content more easily. I'll...

    Alert! There are changes coming to this forum
    Lori31 replies
    👍
    Hi, all: On Monday, June 1st, we will be updating this forum to a newer version. There will be no loss of functionality, but it will definitely look different. After the change, we can tweak a few settings to make it look a little more like what you're used to, but please be prepared for a change! A major advantage to the new version is that it looks really good on mobile devices. I know that a lot of you use your phones, so you may appreciate the cleaner, more modern experience. There is no...

    Maintenance happening on the site tomorrow

    🤣
    Hi, all: We'll be doing maintenance on the systems tomorrow. The maintenance window is 4pm tomorrow - 4am Thursday your time--I know, I know, it's the worst possible timing for you. :( The good news is that you should only suffer occasional "power cuts" of up to 30 seconds, so you should just need a little bit of patience. :) Or, you could just find something else to do...like, curl your hair or something?

    Software update today

    Hi, all: Today we're releasing a software update at some point during the day. While there may be a very small "power cut", it shouldn't last more than a minute or so. When it's done, I'll be enabling a few fun little features: 1. Reactions: We'll be replacing this: With this: which just gives you more options than a simple like. You'll find these reactions at the bottom of the post, instead of the top. 2. You'll notice a coloured bar on the left side of each post. The colour will be...

    Rebranding Hoop.la
    Lori21 replies
    Hi, all: Just wanted to alert you to the fact that we are changing the brand name of the software that powers this community from Hoop.la to Crowdstack. The change will happen on Monday at about 4pm GST, and you will hardly notice a thing. Mostly, you'll see the icon at the bottom of the page change, but we aren't making any other changes, so you'll hardly feel a thing. ;) There will be a very brief power cut (<- @Saint that's for you!) but it should be hardly noticeable. :) Lori

Tomorrow, from 4PM until 4AM on Wednesday, we'll be doing maintenance on the servers that power this site.

    Hi, all: We just had a new release today, and it includes the option for you to deactivate or delete your own account. Obviously, I hope you never feel the need to do that, but it does happen. If you go to update your profile, you'll see a couple of links on the right: Deactivate Account and Delete Account. Deactivation can be temporary (in case you get yourself worked up but know that you might change your mind.) You can just...disappear for awhile, and the option to come back with the...

    Maintenance tomorrow, October 5th

    Hi, all: We're doing maintenance on the servers tomorrow (nothing to do with the https, just yet). The maintenance period is from 4pm - 4am, and you may experience occasional brief interruptions of up to 30 seconds, but the forums will be functioning normally for the majority of the time. You know the drill by now: if it happens to you, take it as a sign that it's time for a cup of tea.

    ❤️
    Hi, all: Just wanted to let you know that, in the next few days, we'll be changing this site to a secure site (https:), as browsers are starting to issue warnings about insecure sites. This MAY mean that some of images or attachments you've uploaded to the site may not display properly, but I think we'll be able to fix that--I'm just not sure, yet. I'll keep you posted on this thread, and let you know if it will help for you to report broken images as you come across them. :)

The window for the maintenance will be 6pm - 10pm your time, and there will be up to 60 minutes of downtime somewhere in that window.

    Hi, all: We are doing maintenance on the servers that power this site tomorrow. The maintenance window is 4pm to midnight, your time. During that window, there will be "occasional outages of up to 30 seconds." For most of the maintenance window, however, the site will be functioning normally. So, if you encounter an error, just go get a cup of tea or something stiffer, if you prefer. By the time you get back, you should be able to hit "refresh" and continue as usual. See you on the other side!

    Lori32 replies
    Hi, all: Just wanted to alert you to the fact that we have to restart all of servers tomorrow after we've done some maintenance. This means we'll experience a short L(ess than 5 minutes) interruption (for Saint, that's an "outage") sometime tomorrow. In other words, expect it when you least expect it! Note that I've just edited this to say "tomorrow", as I originally said "today". What day is this??
