Sorry, I just had to comment on it .. It's better looking than most sites I go to! Just silly almost. Good job to the team, as always.

I thought I'll never see this with all the fixes rolling in so smoothly.

I thought the same thing. I'm now waiting for someone to wake me up and tell me it is still last Wednesday.

I never even noticed it went down... must have been a quick backup+patch

Maybe they were just dumping the database, changing files, testing a feature that had permissions involved, or rolling out a new alpha 1 build. Or all together. It doesn't hurt to just throw it behind maintenance.

I actually liked the fact that each page url stayed the same with the maintenance message displayed, instead of a redirect to a static maintenance page.

Another nice touch.

We did a major back-end update that would have resulted in broken pages for everyone, so we transparently redirected to a basic HTML maintenance page until we were done. It only took a couple of minutes.

I like that this is thread 1000 too... fitting that it should be punctuated with the maintenance page

I had to fight for that .. I was sorta hoping it could have been my 1000th post at the same time too. haha.

Next thread will be the true 1000th thread though

Oh so the real maintenance page won't exactly look like that ?

Maybe better?

That would be marvelous Though it's already pretty neat like that.
