pyre400 Posted August 7, 2013 at 04:36 PM Share Posted August 7, 2013 at 04:36 PM Hello folks Just wanted everyone to be aware of a site outage that will occur this afternoon. The outage duration is expected to be ~40 minutes. What you may need to do: 1. The DNS will change, which may impact those who "cache" dns. Most windows systems do and you can run "ipconfig /flushdns" after the outage, if you have problems accessing the site. 2. If you have a "stale" web browser up, you may wish to "ctl +F5" to update the page 3. If you dont know what the heck I'm talking about in steps 1 and 2, please reboot your system - that is a crude way of doing both steps above. Again, these suggestions are to be performed after the outage is over. I'll provide more details shortly as to the precise time of the outage. The purpose of our outage today is to perform a migration, which will lead to the enhancement of performance and availability of our community. On behalf of IC, I want to apologize in advance for any inconvenience. More outage details regarding time-frame, to come... Stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyre400 Posted August 7, 2013 at 05:52 PM Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 at 05:52 PM Thanks for letting us know! Yea... the covert method left some folks upset. I suppose a little communication is the least I could do. Still no word yet on the hour - I'll be back to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to stink not to be able to use that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyre400 Posted August 7, 2013 at 06:52 PM Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 at 06:52 PM Its likely a cache/cookie issue. I dont wish to address it here, but I'm all but certain is not a forum issue. If it is a "forum issue", problems like this are usually caused by having the period specified on the left of the "view new" content view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted August 7, 2013 at 07:10 PM Share Posted August 7, 2013 at 07:10 PM Hopefully the "View New Content" will work again!! II had he same problem and it turned out to be a setting.Hit "VIEW NEW CONTENT" and the options below should be on the left side ofof the screen. Be sure "forums" and "new since my last visit" are selected.

RoadyRunner Posted August 7, 2013 at 09:34 PM Share Posted August 7, 2013 at 09:34 PM Either that - or we all have cached DNS entries and we are all still posting to the old site - completely invisible to users on the new site.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
