Seems like there have been regular problems since the facelift a while back. The operating system hasn't changed according to netcraft, it's been running on Linux and the same version of Apache for the past year. The problems seem only to have started with the facelift, so whatever software changes affected that are to blame.

well they did change forum version from 3.1 to 3.2 there were drastic changes made. Also with neowin's new layout could have caused some issues with the forums software. let's hope this isn't an IP.Boards problem, as it is excellent forum software.

It's usually quirky stuff, I guess lots of it is connected to the custom tweaks our coders implemented into ipb, which need to be re-deployed with every update.

Usually we don't upgrade to the latest IPB and are at least one version behind as staff is waiting to see how many bugs there haven't been ironed out or to get quicker support and help should problems arise, as they might have been reported/discussed already.

It's quite normal, but with Neowin and the LARGE community and content and the mods and whatnot, it's often a tough time doing everything perfect during the upgrade or resolving problems within a snap of a finger...

That's why, but the offline times with Neowin upgrades to newer IPBs have been around for God knows how long and are an epic and unintentional running gag.
