Eric Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's good to see that most of you survived tax season with your sanity (mostly) intact. The forum is going to receive a pretty significant makeover soon, but it will require some downtime, perhaps an entire day, to complete all of the changes. My question you you folks is when the best time for that is? When will things be sufficiently slow that taking down the site for a day won't be a huge disruption? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Any time works for me. I say schedule it when it is convenient for you. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax Prep by Deb Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Best to fit in around your schedule. Although we will suffer withdrawal for a day, it won't be the end of the world! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 My preference is for Sunday. No clients. No work really. But I have no objection to you taking it down any time you want. Whatever works for you. Tom Newark, CA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardley CPA Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Eric...thank you. What works best for your schedule is how you should proceed. We'll survive without the Community for a few days while you do your thing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 As long as it is after April 15, and we know that you will eventually get the forum back up for us, we will be fine. As someone mentioned, we might have withdrawal symptoms, but all will be well once we get our next "fix." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just please warn us a day in advance, and we will try to survive it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm going to shoot for next weekend. I'm going to get the ball rolling on Saturday May 2, and hope to have it finished by the end of the day on Sunday. That is, unless I forget, which has been known to happen. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Eric, is there anything that will be lost that should be printed out or copied to a file such as our private messages? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Nothing will be lost. There's an extensive migration process (it takes hours to run) that should get 100% of the data into the new format. I'll be making full file and database backups before I start, so if anything does turn up missing I'll be able to roll it all back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm going to start preparing for the upgrade tonight, and the site will most likely be down tomorrow or the next day for the actual upgrade. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Maybe by the time it's back up I will have figured out how to offload a video from my camcorder *and* put it up on YouTube to link here, of my daughter Gwen in the. most. amazing. Viennese. waltz. ever. just last night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
