My superiors noticed that in the last 8-10 days our number of users visiting has decreased by half. I wrote this off as just people are busy but now they are wondering if there is a technical issue. On Jan 28th we did have an extended outage for the forums and server upgrades that I performed.
Can you let me know if you have noticed anything odd with the forums lately?
I usually check in once a day and have not noticed any problems with the forums. Im on the east coast USA browsing w/ desktop Safari 11.0.2. Maybe everyone was watching the Super Bowl?
If it was Jan 27, yes, these forums were in “read only” mode while I was performing the upgrades to the OS and Discourse. We went from Ubuntu 14.04 - 16.04.
