I need to apply a setting server-side to ensure better security for our forums. [dedicated IP]
According to the server side messages, the change, when I make it, could make the forums unavailable for as long as 48 hours.

I would like to not just flip the switch, but rather, get input from you what 2 days are best for having a bumpy ride.

A good reply would be like:
Weekends are good for going down...
Not Tuesday....
Wed and Thur are good....


Tanks!
Doc

It makes no difference to me, but you may want to check with various league commish's. For ex, PSL 16 starts on 3/11, so it may not be good for it go down that day, since they'd probably want to post game results updates, etc.

Yes, one concern was the leagues and teams and such....I think they jam on Tuesdays.

Thanks Mc!

Update:
I did a test run on another URL on same server. The change-over was not noticeable to me.
My gut tells me it's no biggie in the USA, but for Canada, UK, Islands, anywhere off the mainland USA it might be unavailable for a short short period.

Unless I hear major complaints, I'll plan for the end of this week then,
Thanks! everyone who replied so far!

I'd say have it down on Thursday and Friday as WSL is on Sunday, TBML is on Tuesday and PSL is Wednesday.

Thursday and Friday fo sure.
With PSL just starting this coming week, and other leagues on the weekend.

Thanks for all you've done doc, much appreciated.
