Site is going down TODAY for a few hours; maybe all night

Today is the day. I’m going to upgrade the site to the new software. As I’ve warned repeatedly, the look will change a bit, though I’ve done my best to minimize this. We will lose some interface languages.

I’m sure there will be a few formatting problems, too. Please message me if you notice anything in particular isn’t working.

I’ve rehearsed this several times in the hopes of keeping downtime to a minimum. But glitches might occur. Please bear with me if we are still down tomorrow. Please know I’ll be behind the scenes, screaming at some powerless tech support assistant in Singapore.

See you on the other side.

That didn't work. In spite of endless rehearsals, the real thing failed. Luckily, I was able to do a full restore.

I'll try again soon.

As you were.

I'm going to try again. Today. I am sorry--attempting to do this at night is killing me.

So, the site is going to go offline within the hour. Wrap up if you are typing anything.
