I'm planning to upgrade server OS on Sat Dec. 24. This is needed to continue getting the latest security patches.
I want to take some time for this, so FLM will probably remain down for a couple of days. I guess not many people would visit FLM during Christmas anyway...
Admins have backup copies of database and board software, in case anything goes wrong with the server.

I have to install a patch that requires a reboot. Downtime should be within 10 minutes.
As already mentioned, the planned downtime during Christmas was canceled. Next OS upgrade will be after 6 months.
Oh, BTW, I can tell under cover of secrecy that someone is planning a little Christmas surprise...
Spoiler:
About 3900 FLM files with 2 or less complete sources will be shared with fast connection between December 18 and January 1. (Of course, all files would be reshared any time upon request.)
I'll take this opportunity to give you and the rest of the FLM family a "Happy Holidays" and Thank You. Another year of fine films and good company. Many people have put in a lot of time and effort to make this board work - you know who you are - and it's greatly appreciated.
