...are we still being subjected to these intolerable site down times. From 1700 hrs nzst the site is down for essential maintenance - every bloody night. We were promised a move away from this but it has returned. It's becoming insufferable, especially so in this hemisphere as it is prime inet time.

For christs sake Russ, get it sorted. Jesus wept.

surely it is possible to test in a seperate folder instead of on the live version.

Look moweut, I teach Lit. and suffer IT badly. So just explain to me how I post my RHP moves in a seperate folder. The hell I can.

12. MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE
RHP reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that RHP shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

This gives you a couple of simple options

1. Live with it
2. Move

He was suggesting to Russ that updates be tested on the beta site, as opposed to the live site. But to be honest this would not help at all, as the downtimes are most likely as a result of Russ and Chris trying to improve the server speed. With new servers recently being put in, there will of course be some downtime, it is to be expected, after all, the internet isn't perfect, and there will always be some glitch or something. It has to be fixed in someone's prime time, and seeing as the majority of users are from U.K or U.S. it makes sense that the downtimes are done whilst they are mostly asleep.

Your complaining about an outage on a correspondance chess site!? Do a few minutes matter that much?

But African and European late nights are noones prime time. The maintanance can be best timed at around 02:00 / 03:00 in the night CET. Only an occasional Atlantic Island will be bothered much. All others just need to get to bed at that hour (or don't wake up that soon).

But I can understand, at that time, no one really wants to maintance things.

I must agree with Skeeter here. The regular outage of this site has been happening for years now. Surely a solution should have been found by now?

Maybe Russ and Chris should move to one of those Atlantic Islands so they can schedule downtimes at a reasonable time. 😀

Or people could just learn to live with the fact that maintenence HAS to be done...

Russ probably has the stats about how many people are online. Normally, the forum is quite active during that time.
