Upcoming maintenance

[RenegadeMonster]

Just a heads up that I need to some maintenance soon that will result in downtime. I just need to pick a time and date to do it.

Would you all prefer a weekday or weekend time for the outage?

I need to install updates and security patches to the OS the server is running and reboot it to ensure the server remains secure. This could take a couple hours and depending on the updates made, some configuration adjustments to get things back up and running if the php version gets updated for example.

I vote for whatever window of time works best for @RenegadeMonster. I can adjust accordingly.

As long as it's clearly communicated ahead of time, I'm fine with whatever!

@RenegadeMonster whatever time works for you!

Time set, just checking to see if the notice is displaying properly for everyone so everyone is aware.

Looks good to me.

Thanks for unintentionally pointing out performaing.

Next time I make a status update, and haven't had enough coffee yet, someone please slap me silly.

TBH, when I fixed "Maintenance" earlier I almost, and I mean almost, was trying to think of a way to include "frothy" in the message.

we should always end these with 'now is your chance to find out what you can do with more time."

And we are back.

Our server is up to date, xenForo is up to date now as well as the media embed plugin. Hopefully this resolves the issues with Amazon Links.

I also updated us to PHP 8.2 on the backend.
