Outage over, with conditions

We have successfully migrated our database, but still in the process of moving others servers.

We have made the service available again with some limitations in place ( no image uploads, for example), but you may experience problems briefly later in the day.

Once we are 100% complete, I will announce it here. Thanks.

We currently have an issue with email mail notifications failing to send, which is being investigated.

no time out yet?

In the interests of fairness, timeouts will be suspended for at least 24 hours. An assessment will be made then, so the timeout suspension may even be extended. If there are no further problems though, it will be lifted.

The migration is now complete for nearly all users - just a few stragglers hitting the old machines now.

The outage was far shorter than the expected worst case, so the timeout suspension will end in approx. 12 hours.

Also, we are now forcing all users to use a secure connection, removing the http:// option in preference of https:. However you accessed the site previously, you will now be forwarded to the preferable (secure) https:// version, even for the RHP brands.

Finally https! Good job!

Looks clean on IE, Chrome, Firefox, iPad Safari, and the iPad app. Good work, Russ.

ETA for Games Explorer?

Working on it right now. Master games should be back soon, but user games will take a number of days to build back up again.

Have we lost the e-mail notifications feature now ?

No, but if you have a bounced email recorded against you, they will not receive any further emails.

@kingcolemk You did have a bounced email recorded to your account, so I have removed that record, so you should again receive email. See the new thread in this forum regarding email and email bouncing.

Thanks Russ. All seems OK again.

The background colors and grid lines on the board go white with some degree of regularity which it hadn't done previous to this outage.

The tables do not show the correct ranking (since yesterday afternoon the ranking did not change).
