Thank you for all you do here, you guys are awesome. :) I can't wait to see the changes to the site, and I already follow the FB page so I'll be happy to chat on there as well.

I’m on fb constantly but need this to have anonymity so I’ll just be here waiting patiently for things to work after the changes :)
No one would know who you are unless you choose to tell them. Otherwise people are left to decide who you are among the 47K users of the site.
Not to tip you either direction, just letting you know.

A perfectly reasonable choice. The other option is simply so that people can choose for self. You can read any updates on the SB page without following or joining any group though there are any delays or updates . That is all as a fallback in case there is some unforeseen issues with upgrade and it takes longer than expected.

I'm confused about this statement.

Site Maintenance and updating in progress today. From 5:00 AM GMT / 10:00 AM EST friday/ 30 November until complete sometime over weekend there will be intermittent outages of up to 90 minutes, and multiple changes in appearance on forum.

FORUM UPGRADE - DOWN TIME The forum will be down for around 2 hours Friday 30th November 10am GMT / 5am EST / 2am PST. Thank you for your patience.

Which is the right time here?

I can't actually figure how to use facebook so I'll wait patiently until it's up.
My love of SF outweighed my revulsion for FB, so I made an account the other day. Since I didn't give them any personal information, including my real name, they asked for my picture and then disabled the account. Oh, and I'd also selected 1905 as my birth year. Hey it was an option, why not:rolleyes:

The site will close for the first time at -

THEN, during the weekend the site will likely go down several times for roughly 90 minutes each time while adjusts are made.
Each time the site comes "back up" it will look different and have more functions.

The reason this is happening is so that when glitches / issues arise, they can be fixed. But they can't be fixed while the site is still up and running. I hope this makes sense and helps :)

Thanks for the clarification @Kira I'm sure folks are extra confused now HA All good.
We'll all make it back at the same time, right? Ultimately we should only lose all sure functions for about 90 minutes or 2 hours (at 10am Greenwich time for the record) After that just a bit of flaky behavior here and there. Everyone hold tight and relax.
