Place your bets ! Atari EU downtime.

[Eudemon]

Well what do you think? Will the upgrade and implementation go smoothly or will it be a somewhat unfortunately named 'typical atari', ie; later than planned. :D

[ShadowGT]

All hope is lost lol.

[CarMadMike]

I was wondering the exact same thing, I imagine they are just Upgrading the Vb to 3.7.0 or 3.6.8, and other things to the site.

 

Upgrading doesnt take that long, But maybe the size of the forum is why it might take all day

[t.]

Ah wondered why the site was down. Must be some more of this "Scheduled Maintenance" Needless to say I voted skip.

 

Ah it loaded the multilingual message this time, it never got that far last time.

[Eudemon]

I don't think the forum will be being upgraded tbh, the way the site and forum are integrated upgrading vbulletin would be a job in itself.

 

Speaking of vB 3.7.0, it will be coming to TDUc in the very near future. I'm just making sure it works locally before doing the install on here. Also got to make a database backup tonight so the forum might go down while this is going on. I'll be sure to put a notice up when this is going to happen though.

[CarMadMike]

Sounds cool, Theres some Brilliant mods for 3.7.0, Most not really needed but cool nonetheless

 

Tenebra Did say that some new cool things were on the Way though, So I imagine some mods will be installed

Do we get to bet on how long TDUc will be down when that happens? ;)

 

As far as I know, the Atari downtime is mostly related to the login backend, not especially the forum version itself. But any changes to user login systems obviously have to be quite secure before you go back online.

[Eudemon]

Sure you can bet on that, hence why I'm making the backup beforehand ! You create the poll when the announcement is made. :D

[hesonly5]

Judging by the supposed TDU 'community' website, it probably won't go well :p

[Nodz86]

I've gone for soon, the shorter version of soon (ish) meaning it'll be a few months probably like the time the tdu servers will take to be fixed

[Andreas¹]

Just to be odd, I'll say they will actually get it fixed when they said so :p

W00T kal agrees with meh :D

[CarMadMike]

Hmmm, Its still not up

[kalniel]

Hmmm, Its still not up

There wasn't an option for 'it'll be up in less time than they said' ;)

[Eudemon]

Hmm Kal do you remember if they said which Thursday? ;)

[kalniel]

Hmm Kal do you remember if they said which Thursday? ;)

*chuckles evily* :twisted:

 

Wonder if I just messed things up by logging into the mod cp though :p

[Baldy]

Why wouldn't that surprise me, oh the joy's of atari information. What happened to the update here diablo

[CarMadMike]

Theres been differant Message all the time, The server is now "too busy", they might be putting it back up

 

Yep its back up, I quite like the integrated site/forum system at the top,

 

Looks like i was right

Where did you see the vB version upgrade cmm ?

[CarMadMike]

It says at the very bottom of the screen, right above the Copyrights

[Baldy]

mine still says 3.0.7 and is still too busy.

[Eudemon]

Must be my cache as I have the usual 3.0.7 showing.

[CarMadMike]

I had the server busy thing, But then i got in, strange

 

It probably is your cache as if you look at the attachment theres hardly anyone online

[Eudemon]

Oh I'm on now.

 

Looks like they've went a bit Web 2.0 on this and finally, god of all gods they upgraded the board ! Now let's see if 3.7.0 makes an appearance or does that change too much and they have the integration working properly with 3.6.9 and it will take another 37 years till the next upgrade? Just kidding!

[Andreas¹]

Gwahaha, kal and I was right! :D Do we get some kind of prize? :D

[Baldy]

I can't log back in, i can't remember my info, oops.
