• 2/3 - 11:40 pm PST: We've put BYC into "Maintenance Mode" (which is probably how you found this thread )
• 2/3 - 11:55 pm PST: Database backup complete, starting the software update!
• 2/4 - 1:10 am PST: Core software updated. Style updated. Addons (mostly) updated. Now we're just checking for any bugs / problems
• 2/4 - 2:00 am PST: BYC is back live. Everything seems all-good!!!

"Maintenance Mode" allows us to do a full backup of BYC without having to worry about people posting, adding pics, etc., while we're doing a backup.

This ensures that the backup is clean and 100% up-to-date.

We do daily backups, but I like to make sure we have a perfectly good / updated backup RIGHT before an update to the software... in case anything goes wrong.

... which fortunately because of our awesome team, rarely happens.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for taking the time to update BYC for us! I will miss it in the time being, but it will be worth it! Thanks! 😌
