Hi everyone, happy August!
I'm posting to let you guys know that at midnight subeta time tonight, we'll be taking the site offline for a few minutes to do some reorganization.
A few days ago one of our web servers suffered a crash. This particular web server is the one we use for programming Subeta, and also the one that ran the crons ("cron" is short for "chronological" and is programmer-speak for a script that runs according to a schedule. All timed events on subeta, like shops restocking, are controlled by crons.)
Anyway, we took the opportunity to reorganize our code a bit, making it a lot easier for programmers to code and test new features for the site. Some of our changes make it necessary to take the entire site offline for a brief period while we move things around.
I'd say the site will be down for 20 minutes or so, depending on how things go. Because we'll be moving around the code itself, there will be no "downtime" page; instead, your Firefox (you are using Firefox, right? and not IE? good!) will be unable to connect to Subeta until things come back up.
As always, thanks for your patience and support!

Letting us know of downtime when possible is so much nicer than it getting slammed in our fact unexpectedly. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif" border="0" />

Actually, IE is a perfectly acceptable browser. The only times it causes problems, is when the person behind it is doing stupid things, and not being wary about their internet protection.
But anyway, thanks for the heads up. Itll be 5am for me, but still XD.

No? <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> I strongly dislike Firefox. I use Maxthon.

Phew. I'll be asleep. Thanks for telling us!
A quick question, I am clueless about programing. Will this affect the shops having items in them alphabetical order?
