Saturday forum maintenance

[boffer]

This is from Typlo who is 'the big cheese' in France and is the face of the forumotion system. (they're working on a Saturday?! )

I think they'll be starting at midnight Friday night EST. Daylight savings time messes me up. Can anybody confirm? Anyhow, it's close!

There's been no hint as to what they are up to, or if we'll be able to see any changes.

Dear members,

As usual, Forumotion ensure you provide all that is best in terms of free forums. In this context, and to ensure maximum performance for your forums, we will proceed to a
maintenance on our network Saturday, July 3, 2010 from 07:00 AM to 11:00 AM (GMT +2).

During this maintenance, our team will do their best to minimize the impact on your forums. However, slowdowns, impossibility to access the forums, or white pages can occur.

You have no reason to worry, your forums are safe, no data loss is to be feared. This operation and its adverse effects are expected and will be under the control and close monitoring of our team. By the end of maintenance, your forum will be perfectly accessible and more stable than before.

You can now tell your members of this maintenance so they are not surprised to see slowdowns on your forum.


We apologize for the inconvenience.

Best,
Forumotion Team

Hi, Boff --

Some of the IT companies do work in France...everyone else is at the grocery store. I'm most impressed that they're working tomorrow, though -- the kids' last day of school was today, and EVERYONE is headed off on vacation. (Except the ones coming to my 4th of July party, that is!)

Anyway... 7:00AM Paris time is 1 AM EST, so 11:00 AM is therefore 5 AM EST...happily this means most of y'all back stateside won't be affected!

Thanks for the correction/confirmation. Will you be providing the fireworks at your party?

We'll have to see who's still awake by nightfall (it doesn't get dark here til nearly 11pm in the summertime) -- and how much we want to annoy the neighbors!

Our older daughter was an exchange student in France, and she was in Cannes for the Fourth of July back in the late 1990's. She said the city gave the best Fourth of July celebration she'd ever seen. US Navy ships came in to port, and the city of Cannes gave them an annual celebration in tribute to their aid in saving the city in WWII.

Of course it was a mother's nightmare, thinking about my teenage daughter sitting on the beach and dancing in the streets with all those sailors in a town where wine can be purchased in 5 liter jugs! (And they wonder why my hair turned gray.)
