Hi Gary:

Can you provide a more specific time (GMT is fine), please?

Can you provide a more specific definition of "upgrades"?

Thanks & Regards!

...JRF...

Thanks for the information Gary,

Are you taking over for Cheryl?

Guess I missed the memo.

I'd of course love to see what the upgrade list is. Since A. Clay is so close to the next hat, maybe a new one, setting the bar higher.

I also hope the link click bug that nailed me is on the fix list.

User selectable caps lock kEyZ!

Don't we all know how pressurized a 2hour-downtime can be? I feel with Gary.

Hi all,

Here's some further detail on the downtime:

It is due to begin at 9am PDT on friday morning

The main focus of the downtime is architecture and software upgrades to the database and application servers, along with Java.

Some of the enhancements that are also being added include:

Login service will use password encryption.
Formatted text will be retained - helps when posting code snippets.
One-Click unsubscribe for daily email notification.

Thanks Again,

Gary

Hi Gary/Cheryl,

I'm especially looking forward to the "formatted text" enhancement. It's been needed for some time.
Thanks for moving the forum forward - much appreciated.

Rgds,
Jeff

Just to check the reformatting thing
Thanks for this feature.
BTW Should the weekly stats retain formatting? They'd be bigger then
