Notice Site Was Down Because of a Server Issue

[Zwielicht]

The site was down for about 30 minutes or so because of a server issue.

It looks like the host fixed it now.

I'll look into prioritising moving to the new host over the next week or two.

Also, if you're noticing that it's slow right now, it's because they're still working on it.

I assumed it was the planned upgrade

In those cases, I post an announcement before we do any upgrades like that (unless it's a new add-on, which I probably should be posting announcements about).

It's still loading slowly at points. This is frustrating...

Because you decided to turn it into a dating app.

Because you decided to turn it into a dating app.

@UnusualSubstance won't argue with that one.

That add-on isn't enabled at the moment, though. The host mentioned they're still working on it, so the slow-loading aspect is on their end.

After I finish making some adjustments, I'll look into at least prepping the new server for us to migrate the site.

It went down AGAIN!

We're still setting up the new server. I'll post an announcement when we're ready to migrate it, but we don't have an ETA on that. Definitely not tonight.

Would it be possible to also make a alert banner so everyone can see it without having to go to the announcement?

Let me see what I can do. I'm sure something is possible.

Edit: Yeah, they're called "Notices" on Xenforo. Let me set that up.

All right, I've set up an announcement banner. Next time there's a site-wide issue, I can display that.
