We'll be performing a site update tomorrow morning requiring us to close for a bit beginning at 6AM. Estimated downtime is 30 minutes.
This update is fairly complex, with a lot of moving parts. As always, please be sure to report any unusual or unexpected behavior post-update
Update Overview
All in all, the update went well. Lots of little bugs I'll be knocking out over the next couple weeks, but I haven't seen anything major so far. From now on I'll be editing this post to go over update changes, rather than creating a separate announcement. If you guys have questions, opinions, or just want to talk about any of this feel free to reply here.
