Sorry, meant to post this earlier today. OLO will be down for a couple of hours this afternoon. Hopefully most of you won't notice because you'll be winding down for the weekend. It's maintenance, although not that routine.

Maintenance.

Good for OLO. Good for the Constitution.

Can you fix my space-bar while you're at it? See other thread, post No. 35.

Thanking you in anticipation, Graham.

I do trust that the inaccessibility of OLO at around 5:00 PM yesterday, and continuing for an hour or three after that, was indeed due to the foreshadowed maintenance of eight days ago that seemed not to have eventuated at that time.

At least around 5:00 PM is when I first started running into the '404' messages, while I was checking out the links in one of my posts. The site may have been down for some time before that for all I know.

Anyhow, just in case it was a problem that only some viewers were running into, and you remain unaware of its occurrence, here are some Twitpics of what I encountered:

I only got the unavailability notice when I tried to get onto the Forum in a new tab from my bookmark. Refreshing pages already up in tabs gave only the '404s', FWIW.

What happened? Did the High Court issue OLO with an order that maintenance had to be delayed for a week?

Hi, yes I was remiss in not posting a new message. The previously promised maintenance did not happen as scheduled, so had to be rescheduled. Never thought of using the High Court as an excuse! ;-)
