Question

Make announcements before the actual event, please...

It just keeps getting better and better... If you're going to do a "scheduled maintenance" on the site and it might prevent people from logging in, post the announcement BEFORE you do it, not when it's nearly over.

    Scheduled = Planned in advance!

    Well, from Collins English Dictionary:

    schedule ... ~vb (tr.) 7. to make a schedule of or place in a schedule. 8. to plan to occur at a certain time.

    It could be 7 in the sense: included into the schedule of unplanned/unforeseen events, only it sounds better, until someone comes to think about it.

    Hi all

    I think the login issue was unexpected.

    As for the "Scheduled outage" page you saw, It has been my own experience that this is kind of a default page you see when things go awry. Kind of like a custom 404 page you see on the web.

    Cheers... Rick

    It was not a page. It's a "sticky" at the top of the forums home-page.

    The sticky says we are experienceing issues, not that it is planned maintenance.

    The error page (if you try to login during the problem)  is a generic Adobe error page that says "planned maintenance".   Hosts cannot control what Adobe's redirect pages look like.

    I didn't say anything about any error page.
