Important Announcement Regarding Scheduled Downtime Wednesday 2am July 21st

Like the previous time last year, another much needed hardware update is in the works, which in turn required that we update some of the nuts and bolts software that runs behind the scenes to make everything run. Which in turn required us to do some updating to the custom software system that drives this site.

We will be doing this in a couple phases. We've gotten through some of the required changes without disrupting the user experience (or if you're sharp-eyed and happened to load a page during one the split-seconds we happened to be actively working on something, you may have seen a test message here and there). The next phase will require we take the site down for just a couple hours to copy some data over to the new hardware.

We plan to do this at 2am Pacific Time this upcoming Wednesday, July 21st, before the normal nightly downtime at 4am.

No problems are anticipated for this procedure. We've "rehearsed" it a few times, we just need to take the site down so no new data is entered while we are copying it over to the new hardware.

Please make sure my 138,408 FX points are safe and are carried over. Don't bother checking now, wait until migration is complete. Thank you and God Bless.
