Morning Maintenance?

[OneMalt]

It has become my habit to open AK shortly after awakening each morning to scan new threads and replies. The last 3 or 4 mornings, I've checked out a few threads and suddenly, the forum locks up. This has occurred between 4:00 and 4:05 AM EST. Other websites load and work with no problems. Is there some new forum maintenance being performed regularly at this time?

happens to me around 7:03AM

I don't know about the maintenance but I know you are waking up WAY too early!

[RichPA]

I'm guessing it is your ISP, not AK, that is doing maintenance then. I have been on AK around 4 a.m. the last couple of days (don't ask!) with no problems.

On at 4'ish this morn. Usually 5:30 or so. Haven't seen it.

The server company used to do managed backups at 6 am, Central time, but that was changed, recently to 3 am, Central;, which would be 4 am, Eastern. It only lasts for a few minutes, but, when it occurs, you get a vBulletin error message page saying, "Database Error". Close your browser window, and reopen, in a few minutes, and all should be well, again.

It could be worse, folks. You could be at your desk, in London, England, and sign in, at 9 am, only to find that you can't get it!

The managed backups should totally prevent that nonsense we had, back a couple of years ago, when the former host eradicated our database.

A necessary evil.

No complaints, just curious. I'm also glad that there was a reason it was happening. I hate it when I'm the only one weird things happen to. You all hear voices coming out of your coffee makers too, right?:D

I don't drink coffee. Although my car does have its own free will. :D

Hmm, thanks, Ernie, guess I've just been lucky (or misreading the clock - quite possible at 4 a.m.!)

Interesting I hit it when I'm up way to late here on the lefty coast. Wondered what the deal was. Thanks Ernie I'm fulfilled now.

Happens to me in the evenings after work sometimes.
