    Since switching to the new software, our database backup scripts have stopped working. Because of this, I'll be taking the board down tomorrow from 10AM EDT to 1PM EDT in an attempt to rectify this and get the board back on a regular backup schedule.

    Thank you for your patience.

    That's why I got my weekly faux-meltdown in yesterday. Been getting some non-connectivity, thought I'd better get it in while the gettin-in was good. Could have done it tonight, I s'pose, but y'know... can't do it the same day every week, or people lose that on-their-toes-ness that I like so well. :)

    Oh, and before I forget... thanks. You've no doubt got a lot on your plate, so let it not be said that your efforts to keep our boardly enjoyment alive are unnoticed or unappreciated. :techman:

    The issue has been fixed, and the board is now set to auto-backup every day at 3AM EDT. The script takes the board down for about 10 minutes.

    This is going to be an amazing boost to my productivity, as that's 9 o'clock here, pretty much precisely when I reach my desk at work each day.
