3. thanks for the links

I was going to open a bunch of threads, take screengrabs and and combine them into an animation that I could sit and stare at despondently, but this suggestion of yours might actually be a better option.

4. Du is the only message board on which I participate

ben's list is a great start - are there any others I should check out during this time "off"?

7. Great suggestions, Ben

I occassionally re-read the Constitution (in my old government text book), but the other ideas are great & I would not have thought of them if left to my own devices. Many thanks :hi:

Please explain?

16. Here you go:

The discussion forums will be unavailable on Sunday for several hours starting around 4pm eastern, and continuing potentially late into the evening. We are scheduling this downtime specifically around the time of the SuperBowl since most DUers will be away watching the game.

We are going to attempt to go live with our new database server, which, if successful, will be a huge step forward for us. As always, upgrades like this make it generally extremely difficult to predict the exact amount of downtime, or whether or not we're going to encounter problems that require us to reschedule.

Thanks again for your patience while we continue to implement these upgrades to our systems!
