Site Downtime Tonight: 02:00 UTC

from the do-not-adjust-your-browser dept.

We're going to be making the first major upgrade to slashcode since the site went live tonight. We're scheduling one hour of downtime from 02:00 UTC to 03:00 UTC to do the upgrade. During this time, we'll leave varnish running so the main index and article pages will be visible, but attempts to post or access uncached pages will generate Guru Mediation errors. I'll bump this post to the top of the index just before we go offline

During this time, IRC will remain available. If there are unexpected issues, we'll update our new status page with our status. I'll have a changelog written up and posted within the next 24 hours.

[Downtime will be from: 22:00 Eastern Daylight Time, 03:00 British Summer Time, 11:00 Japan Standard Time]

NCommander adds: Bumping this to the top of the queue again as we're going down in less than an hour.

paulej72 adds: Update is done. Please submit any new bugs here.

    1) Can you get rid of the new, all-too-prominent log-out button. It's huge, and right where you'll be clicking, all the time, to look at any new messages.

    2) Can you put the new messages notification back at the top of the main page, instead of in the sidebar? Far more prominent and harder to miss up there.

    3) Damn the site's slow. Hope you'll get that fixed soon.

    1) Can you send a screengrab of the log out button. It is a normal button for me and on the browsers I checked it on. paulej72 at soylentnews dot org.

    2) Other users complained that the old message system was too distracting as it made the top items of the page not to line up. I was in agreement on this and wanted a clean top. We can look into this when we implement a complete site redesign and see if we can accommodate both camps.

    3) Varnish cache was flushed and needs to refill.
