The site will be down tonight (Dec. 12, 2006, 9pm Seattle time) for approximately 60 minutes while we do some scheduled database maintenance. Ivan and Chuq will be working together on this together—if anything goes wrong we’ll update you here. This should be the last time we pull the sites down for a long while. Thanks everyone!
UPDATE: site went down at 9:36PM PST and came back up at 10:55PM PST. That’s 84 minutes of downtime. We should be good for a while. Thank you Chuq and Ivan.
CAN’T GET THE SITE? A few folks have reported not being able to get 43T or just their profile page to load. In these cases clearing their Firefox browser cache has solved the issue. Try this this sequence of clicks:
tools > options > privacy > cache > clear cache now
Thanks to Gary and Laurie for helping troubleshoot the issue.

Ya’lls always say 60 minutes!!!! Last time it was down for like 3 days…for me anyway…It is starting to get annoying!!

Uhh..If I click the link to 43things at the top of my firefox page it comes up with the scheduled downtime thing, but if i click on the page to go to any of the 43things pages on the right, it works perfectly fine….hmm

i can’t get to my 43things page…. what’s up?
December 13, 2006 at 8:54 am
Hi Laurie - what’s your username? I’m not sure what’s up but I’ll see if I can help.
December 13, 2006 at 9:40 am
Neither can I, and it’s been that way for 12 hours or so now.

Hey Garyth123 -
Can you email me at [email protected]? I’d like to troubleshoot directly with you. If you can describe what you’re seeing on your end (an Oops page, or is the browser spinning) I’ll be better able to figure this out. I know it’s happening to a few people so hit me up and let’s get it fixed for you. Thanks!

Clearing your browser cache will elminate the problem of not being able to get to the site or your profile page. Thanks to Gary (garyth123) for sending us detailed info and troubleshooting on his end — we appreciate the polite, concise help!

An easier fix than clearing the cash: Click Shift+The refresh button.
December 17, 2006 at 2:45 am
Uhm, *cache*

Hi Danie - if the shift+refresh works, great. If not, I posted the clear cache instructions in the post (I should have pointed that out). Here’s what should work:
