Advance notice of a forum outage

[freddie]

I have received the following from Ionos, who host this forum:

Your VPS will be migrated in a non-controllable order between 22/05/2024 and the expected end date of 31/07/2024. You will be informed by email before each migration begins and again once it successfully concludes. As the migrations are carried out automatically, we cannot give you a more detailed timeframe. We expect the majority of the outages to be less than 60 minutes.

Therefore there will be a potentially no-notice outage of this forum between the above dates for a period of up to an hour. If I see the aforementioned email, I will attempt to provide some notice - but it will be minimal.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Note that this has yet to happen, so the chances of a short outage are increasing every day.

The migration will happen this week. Expect an outage of about an hour. I don't know which day it will take place on, but I'll try and aim for a quiet period.

I'll post a firm date and time nearer to the event - with about 24 hours notice.

As per the pink notice board on top of every page:

FORUM WILL BE OFFLINE FOR UP TO ONE HOUR FROM 1500 UTC ON 12 AUGUST 2024 WHILE THE SERVICE IS MIGRATED TO A NEW SERVER

Migration delayed by 48 hours to Wednesday 14th August, same time.

Migration is now complete. Thank you for your patience.
