It would be nice if there could be an announcement of some kind PRIOR to the site going offline. It's a little disrespectful of the community that no advance notice is posted (at least that I saw) warning that things may not function as normal... and then no explanation for the outage is offered until members complain.

Keep us in the loop. We deserve to know what's happening

That would be well and good, IF it was something that was planned, however, I am thinking this was not a planned event.

Yep, don't think this was planned!

This wasn't a planned event Surf, and I'm sure an explanation will be posted at some point.

Thanks Jim and PTJD!

Glad to see I wasn't the only one blaming my equipment. Thought I would get some other stuff done, but I was too busy checking to see if we were back up an runnin! Addicted (sp) much!

Think what you want. It's evident that the last outage was caused by intentional changes:

I'm very sorry for the disruption to the service you may have experienced in the last 24 hours or so.

I have been changing some server settings in anticipation of our migration, and misconfigured it.

With any luck we'll be on the brand spanking new server in the next week or so, and this should put an end to the server busy messages you might have seen recently.

Again, my apologies and I hope this hasn't caused you too much upset.

Until we hear otherwise, I assume this most recent one was caused by ECF tinkering too. The fact that the site no longer works in a number of browsers seems to support this conclusion, and that gets back to my original comment. Tinkering with the server is fine, but at least tell us that there may be some outages and try to keep up updated. Letting the site go down for 24 hours with no warning and no subsequent explanation is disrespectful of the membership.

Surf, shhhh. 1) Don't read too much into this, and 2) that note was a warning in and of itself.
Remember, too, that sometimes these things just HAPPEN. And you're not going to have all the little gory details....

Think of it this way: Do you expect the President of your company to tell you each and every minute detail about the finances of the running of your company? Of course not. There are some things you're not going to be privy to...... and there are things happening to the administration of this forum that the members are not going to be privy to, either.

I'm just glad ECF is back up and running....I missed this place!
