Read-only Just to let everyone know that the DB will be read-only in a few minutes here while I setup a replication server (dual databases). |

Relocation! Hi there! In the next few minutes I am going to be gracefully shutting down the LostJournal servers and moving them approximately 1 mile to a new serving location. This really shouldn't affect very much. I will be watching this very carefully while this all comes back up. Estimating a 3 hour downtime window (+ or - 1 hour). See you on the dark side :) |

Code push! Hello all! In about 10 minutes I am going to move the database to read-only mode in preparation for a code push tonight at midnight (20 minutes from now - 12:00am MST). We are going to do this in stages as this is a fairly major push. I will update this, as well as make a news post as soon as this is complete. Thanks! Edit @ 12:12am: All done! Going through and testing now. If all looks good I'll release the new feature to everyone :) |

Mail Outgoing mail right now is down, and will be down for the next while. All messages are being queued, and will be delivered when our mail server comes back up. Please do not open a support request for this matter. Thank you |

Read only Hey everyone! Just FYI that I will be kicking the entire site over to read-only in about 10 minutes as I move the database to backup. This should take 20 minutes as this is going between networks. I will update this post when we are back up. Thank you for your patience! |

Downtime Hello again! We will be adding a new server tonight in order to keep up with the surge of new accounts. In order to do this we must take down the database and relocate it onto this new server. We are planning to go read-only at 1:50am, followed by shutting down the main DB while we relocate it to a different machine. Estimated downtime is at 15-20 minutes as we verify the data and ensure that all servers are pointing at this new machine. If you have any questions or concerns please leave a comment and I will do my best to answer your questions regarding this outage. Edit: All done! Thank you for your patience! |

Scheduled Downtime Hi All I am going to take the site down in about 10 minutes in an attempt to kick the DB server into working (it will not keep time, which is rather annoying for both you guys and us!) In about 5 minutes the site will be read only, and from there the site will be inaccessible. I hope to have less than 15 min downtime. Thank you |

Read Only and Possible Downtime Hello! Our current Global DB (appropriately named ff2000) seems to be acting up so in about 5 minutes I will be flipping a switch and moving all traffic to a new DB for the time being to try to sort out the issues with ff2000. I hope to keep this as short as possible, as downtime sucks and we avoid it like the plague. Questions or concerns just comment below! |

Read Only Hi everyone! It's Steve, your friendly System Administrator. Just to let everyone know I will be switching the entire site over to read only in about 15 minutes (11:45 MST) for a full DB backup. During this time you will not be able to update, however most journals should still be accessible to read. I anticipate this to last no more than 5 minutes. If you have any questions or concerns please leave a comment. Thanks! Edit: All done! :) |

More Read-Only Hello again. I'm taking another stab at this, so I am shooting for a 10 minute window at around 3:30am MST in which the site will be possibly inaccessible. Any questions or concerns please comment here! Edit: All done! :) |

Read-Only Hi Everyone! *waves* All journals will be read-only for a brief period starting at 11:30pm MST. This will last for approximately 2 minutes as we do a full download of the database in preparation for a new database scheme. Thank you for your patience, and if you have any questions please feel free to comment to this message. |

Major updates! Hello All! Over the last few weeks we have been working on known issues, as well as working on new features which will enhance the experience at LostJournal.com In order to complete the work we must bring down the site, starting with Read-only at Midnight tonight (MST), followed by an outage that will last from 10 min to an hour (we are hoping for 10 minutes). There are a lot of new features being added, and a news post will be following on the 1st (and to clarify right now - it is not an April Fools joke :).

Downtime As you may, or may not have noticed we suffered a power outage at approx. 9:20pm MST last night. Unfortunatley our systems are not backed up with a UPS, so all the servers turned off with this power bump. Service was restored at 7:30am, and all systems checked out. A UPS has been ordered and will be installed within the week. :) |

Planned Outage The entire site will be unavailable from 3:00am MST to 3:30am MST. During this time we will be updating our server platform, as well as applying any updates and patches available. The main cluster will be read-only at 2:55am MST in order to prepare for this upgrade. Thank you for your patience. |

Read-Only At 7:00am PST the entire site will be read-only as the database is backed up to an off-site location. We do this on a regular basis, however we want to ensure we have an accurate and complete backup. This should take no longer then 30 minutes. During this time you may still view entries, however you cannot post nor can you make new comments. Thank you for your patience. Edit: We are back up! Welcome to the New and Improved LostJournal.com server! :D |

Just a heads up that there will possibly be some outages over the next week, as our server location may be changing. I will keep this community up to date( ![[info]](http://www.lostjournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} status) with all the information. |

Everything is fine! After a very brief conversation with a developer, I discovered the problem we were having. Basically, outdated code = very bad. So, the Schools system is working perfectly! You may now submit schools, and they will be approved (in due time, of course!) *does a dance* |
