I'll see your beer, and raise you a six-pack. For Minneapolis coders, of course.

EDIT: w00t -- Third page.

>> So you guys have been going at this round the clock? Any sleep?

The upgrade began about 9 PM Thurs - and I think Peter Bryant caught shut-eye from 1-2:30 AM today

He will definitely sleep deeply tonight -- if he sleeps at all!

Again our thanks for your patience. This has been a REALLY LONG DAY ....

Seattle? any beer buyers? Bellevue Redmond, Issaquah, Beautiful downtown North Bend ???

Are we back up yet? My site still shows its down

No rush to get things done, I needed a day off anyways

IIRC, Crispy (aka pointystick) is from Seattle -- although I am unsure of his age...

Just came back online. Woo Hoo

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG FORUMS ARE UP!

OMGOMGOMGOMOGMG FORUMS CRASHED.

Edit: Ok, make up your minds, now they're up again.

Edit 2: And there they go...

it's really picky.

when its up, I can't post new topics

Ill have to make a trip to seattle to treat the infopop team to a round.

Hey Michael and Peter... I may have to come there and bug you guys yet if I manage to find my way there in the next couple months. Last time I was in the area, I wasn't aware you were so close to where I was holed up. This time I know!! (I'm a beer-pub kinda gal, so you can plan from there!)

Sorry this has been such a pain today, glad it looks as tho there is an end in sight!

Indeed. So ... anyone know when the next Seattle Ars Meet is? I smell Road Trip...

Awesome, it's back. Many thanks to you guys for getting it going amidst our whining. You guys rock.

That free beer also exists in Victoria BC (that's Canadia, eh?) if you're ever up here.

Thanks all. You guys are embarrasing me with all your thanks. Heck keep it up and I'll make sure every software update takes this long. (er, no).

Actually, this update is done from my home. I'm lucky enough that Infopop is flexible with working arrangements and I have the necessary equipment at home. So it was started last night (nearly 23 hours ago!). I managed to get an hour or so's sleep during one of the long running updates. If I took one of those beers right now it would knock me on my back.

You'll notice the forums going up and down. I'll be running the app for a while to locate any performance bottlenecks, then I'll shut it down while I fix things. I'll keep doing that until the site is running smoothly.

Sounds like a plan to me

Thanks

And you're still here posting? Go to bed, man! Get some (very well deserved) sleep. We can take you out for beer later. Unless the lounge consumes and/or detonates all of it tonight, that is.

Thanks for the notice. I was about to ask why they kept doing that.

You guys rock.

sticky threads already rule. theres one in the agora that'll be very convenient to never have to bump again.

Sorry to point out a bug so soon (I know you're on this stuff, I just like to feel important) but threads with polls seem to be having problems. Every post in the thread is showing up with the poll options.

http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=34709834&m=9390970135

And if you choose an option it displays the results in each post as well.

Those out in the LA/Irvine area, the same goes...

Our forums are up, but One Community died. We're getting a message back that says that gender is a mandatory field. I know this time we haven't made any changes to our One Community code so I think its related to the update. Can you check into this for us?

Thanks!
