Been down over 2 hours now and that's on a clean board with no hacks or template mods installed. How long is it going to take the rest of us to upgrade?
We have to remember that they have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users they have to migrate, muchless their posts
Its funny. Today I had finally decided to install Beta 7. I was reading about RC1 comming out soon, but didn't pay any mind to it. I have everything prepped to do the update, so I am here patiently awaiting the new version.
When you move servers you leave the old site up, but closed, while the DNS resolves...The old site is closed so no one can access it, and the new site is open so when DNS resolves for you, you get the new site...No one ever gets a 404 or a server not found. It's called good planning.
Any upgrade and/or release is welcome, great if you get it. I'm just repeating the reason for closing as I recall it and it said to move, not release a gamma.
This is not a server move from machine to another. This is a server move as in the Machine is going to be put on a truck and moved to another building.
The IP and DNS will not change, just that the Server is physically moving.
