Mark, I'm always blown away by these messages of yours. I'm sure that nobody here can imagine yahoo groups telling people that yahoo will be down for several hours, let alone several minutes, let alon

Hi All, I've been notified by Linode that they will be rebooting one of our critical machines tomorrow, Monday 1/15. The downtime will happen some time within a 2 hour window, starting at 11PM Pacific

Hi Brandy, They are announced on this group, and they are also announced on the Twitter @groupsio account. On the day of, there's also a banner that goes up on the website announcing it. Thanks, Mark

Hello - I am wondering if this Group is the one that is always used for all maintenance window announcements? Best :::brandy

#downtime #cal-reminder

Does that mean no cat pics? 😿

#downtime #cal-reminder

Hi All, I realized that if I made a couple of quick changes, I could migrate the server without taking the site down, so that's what I've done. That means that tonight's downtime has been cancelled. T

Robert, The down time tomorrow (Friday) night is for real. As is the question of when that is in your time zone. You have questions, in Group Help[1] and Group Managers Forum[2] we have answers. Or at

Whazup? Is this for real? The description is Greek, or is it geek?

#downtime #cal-reminder

Dave, Mark could use GMT when creating maintenance events, and thus cause the reminders to say +00:00, but I wouldn't want to change the reminder feature to always express times in GMT (or UTC+00:00).

#downtime #cal-reminder

As I said last time can we please quote these times in GMT. It is hard to get my head round things when they are quoted in the strange timescale GMT-0700. I take it it is some time Saturday early morn

So am I. I might let my list know though just in case someone desides to send an email and it brake. My list though is so low traffic for now that it should not matter. lol! It's best to cover my but

And now Thursday morning, long time yet... Dave http://davesergeant.com

I always struggle trying to work out what your times are in ours. I think it is 5am-6am UK time Wednesday morning so hopefully most of us will still be in the land of nod. But thanks for the warning.

#downtime #cal-invite

"Emails sent during this time will be queued and sent when the site is back up."

#downtime #cal-invite

No worries. I'm still guessing that email will still be ok and that if someone happens to send a message to my list during the down time it will still get through? I'm guessing yet, but it never hurts

#downtime #cal-invite

Dinner takes precedence! :-)

#downtime #cal-invite

Oops. I made a scheduling error. The downtime will be Wednesday, September 27, 2017, not tomorrow as first announced. I forgot that I had a previously scheduled dinner tomorrow night. Thanks, Mark

#downtime #cal-invite

Up to you whether to tell your group or not, of course. Nothing will change with the service, so your users don't have to do anything. Cheers, Mark
