Scheduled maintenance today, Tuesday June 30th, at 2pm ET

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).

DU will be down for scheduled maintenance today at 2pm ET.

We expect the downtime to last between 30-90 minutes, but shorter/longer downtime is certainly possible.

Thanks for your understanding!

I would panic a little bit if I signed in and found the site down. I still have some PTSD from the hack in 2016! Thank you for keeping this place in tip top shape. Trolls will undoubtedly be looking to take us down again.

goes to a blank page and when I try to refresh asks to resend info then gives a yellow band error message

Your search was unsuccessful because the software cannot verify the legitimacy of the search attempt. Please go back and resubmit your search.


I tried a couple of different parameters and usernames.

At the top of the screens there is a search box with "Google" next to it that will search this site using Google.

For Star members there is a link just under that for an "advanced search" that allows a more specific search.

You can Search by subject, forum or author and the fallback is to Search for the last month, but that can be adjusted, too. I use it to Search for duplicates or any subject and it's essential when I'm on MIRT.

And I use it a lot! This has been since DU came back up after today's short maintenance. I was wondering if this was true for anyone else.
