I've got the host for the website moving us to a server with a newer version of MySQL.

They will start a few minutes after I post this.

The site may act weird while the DNS settings propagate down the line. If you notice this then don't worry too much about it.

Everything should be back up just fine within 48 hours.

We may notice nothing at all, which is what they're claiming, but with Postnuke, who knows?

Possible problems during this:
- unable to reach host or other like errors (404, 401, 500, etc)
- session races (logging you out of web, keeping you logged in, logging you in on other machines, etc)
- dissappearing posts or stats

All the DNS servers around the world should be updated now so you shouldn't get any more problems.

Sometime this week or this weekend I will be upgrading to the latest stable Postnuke release. I will post in this thread before it happens, but the site will be down for an hour or two while that occurs.

List of ways to notify your customers, after the problem is gone.

1. Next time your email server is going to go down I'll email you and let you know.

2. Next time the ftp site goes down put a notice in the readme file on the site.

3. Put a notice on your website, that the website is down.
