Productivity boost this Thursday

In deference to a number of employers and bosses around the world we will be suspending use of these forums for a period of time on Thursday. Seeking to temporarily blip upwards global productivity is our main reason for doing so, but we will also use the occasion to upgrade the forum database and software.

We thank you for your patience and understanding and wish you a particularly productive 21 April.

ps we are also on the look out for a fixed term contract XHTML/CSS developer with a reasonable understanding of PHP and content management systems...please email paul_lomax@ipcmedia.com if interested to learn more.

Oh come on - you know we won't be working - just continually hitting the refresh button till it comes back up!!
Has IPC got the rights on the F5 button?

I hope IPC realise that they are going to be the cause of the largest number of sackings in a day this country has seen... All the bosses (except those that frequent these forums) are going to realise that their staff don't actually do anything productive anyway ... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

See you all in the Job Centre then ... btw - I'm applying for any job description that has "sit on a computer and browse forums all day" .....

Timings

Okay, it's going to run something like this:

Forums will be unavaiable for a couple of minutes at 1000.

Then they'll be some frantic paddling under the surface at this end while various tests are run over in another world.

Then we'll have to shut everything down for a while, probably early afternoon, while more frantic paddling goes on at this end.

Then we'll turn it all on again after x period of time (hopefully not too long) and attempt to restore all of the posts that you've made between 1000 and the forums going dark.

Or in other words, we'll try to keep disruption to a minimum.

Hopefully you'll see some differences for (y)our pain...
