The database upgrade is complete. Thanks for your patience.

After our backups complete tomorrow we will be taking our primary database server down to add more RAM. We were originally going to add RAM this past Saturday. However, due to ordering and vendor changes we were able to get twice the amount of RAM at the same cost so long as we waited until tomorrow. So, since more is almost always better when it comes to RAM we waited.
So, tomorrow morning we will be extending the downtime by about 40 minutes until 9:00am. We probably won't need all of that time, but it provides a buffer.
Also, for early warning. We will be moving the Wednesday downtime to Thursday next week and it will be happening a bit earlier in the morning to better accomodate our European users. We hope to remove the need for the weekly downtime completely by early next year (which is only 8 weeks or so away).
