An urgent database upgrade will be taking place tomorrow AM. This will result in a short outage.

During this outage, progress will be reported on Twitter.

If the outage should extend beyond 30 minutes, a timeout suspension will be in place for 24 hours.

This work has now been completed.

Timeouts will be suspended for 24 hours as the outage exceeded 30 minutes.

Yup still waiting for the 24 hours to be up here too, it's a stupid rule anyway. What difference does make 24 hours make for opponents that don't move for three weeks?

@dinc168 It’s easier than having to program timeouts for some games and not for others. There very well could be people who had the time to play but couldn’t because of the site outage. It’s just a nice, fair thing to do.

It makes a difference of 24 hrs, it’s not a “rule” and it’s not “stupid”, it’s a concession by the site to those players caught at the end of there vacation or timeout and wanted to move but couldn’t due to the maintenance and then weren’t online when the site came back online. It’s pretty obviously really and I don’t see what your issue is.

What difference is it to you if you are so sure your opponent won’t move within that period? You’ll still get your timeout buzz.

Apologies for the delay in reinstating timeouts - this was switched back on overnight without ceremony.

Human error - mine! 😳
