tomwarren Veteran Posted January 21, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2010 That's right folks. Be prepared for another weekend of downtime..! I kid I kid. We have done lots of testing and we know the source of the high loads so we are going to migrate once again. Expect the forums to be turned offline at 8:30pm GMT and to return approximately 6 hours later. There will be a full post explaining the issue and the main page will remain online. If you break the rules whilst the forums are down then don't be surprised if your account isn't migrated correctly ;) But in all seriousness we will keep a note and adjust warnings accordingly so please remain polite as ever and have fun. Enjoy. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/867410-neowin-is-upgrading-to-ipb3-tonight/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Veteran Posted January 21, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's worth noting that some of the issues you saw last time - quotes in old posts not working properly, some old emoticons not displaying - will be present until phase two of the upgrade script completes. That'll take a few days with the number of posts we have, but it'll run while the board is online.
