Scheduled maintenance on Friday, November 16

[Aaron]

We will be performing maintenance on the Ning Platform on Friday, November 16, beginning at 10 PM Pacific Time. During this time, all Ning Networks will be unavailable for approximately 15 minutes.

We've been proud to offer a consistently high uptime and need to perform some crucial database updates to ensure that reliability continues.

During this time:

· Your Ning Network will display a maintenance page matching your current theme customization to let your members know that your community is temporarily unavailable.
· We will update the Ning Status Blog when this maintenance begins and ends.
· Creators will also be down for maintenance. We'll update here when all is complete.

You may want to let your members know about this downtime in advance via a Broadcast Message or notice on the Main Page of your network. Feel free to make use of the language below, filling in your network details.

Formal: We will be performing maintenance on [network_name] on Friday, November 16, between 10 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. Pacific Time. During this time, [network_name] will be unavailable. We hope this won’t be too much of an inconvenience as we work to perform some necessary upgrades.

Informal: Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that we need to perform some simple but necessary maintenance on [network_name] this coming Friday, November 16. We’ll need to take the site down at 10 p.m. Pacific for about 15 minutes, during which we’ll simply show a message asking folks to check back later. Thanks in advance for your patience while we tune up the site!

Hola Pat,

I've recently had issues where my site has been reverting to a basic html view when it loads, then it goes back to its normal view.  Is this problem related to this update?  It's been happening on both Chrome and IE..

[Eric Suesz]

No. Unrelated.

Hi.

Thanks for the heads up.

Can you just clarify: are you on daylight saving yet?  What time is 10pm Pacific here in Europe?

Thanks

[Aaron]

Hi, Mik. Yep, we're on daylight savings.

Not sure where you are in Europe, but 10PM Pacific is 6am London or 7pm CET. Side note: I use Every Time Zone a ton for timezone help!

thanks for that have seen ur msg around! but some members have ask will they neeed to say their pages?/ cuz they are affraid they mite lose all their work and stuff!?? thanks again for the info :0)

[Aaron]

Hi robbie,

If a member were to hit "save" on a blog post they were working on during the maintenance window, there would probably be an error page. So yes, I'd suggest members save anything they're working on before this time (or at least save a local copy of any forum/blog posts they're writing).

Please can I ask you to be more sepcific about the time zone Pacific Time which Pacific Time?? I need to convert the time to our time zone and cannot do that if I do not know what Pacific Time you are refering to Pacific Time Where ... I am asuming you are refering to PST Pacific Standard Time i.e. USA and Canada ... that would be 8 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time.... Is this correct
