This is a very silly conversation, FYI. It’s one outage, it’s only a few hours, and it’s the only time they’ve needed to do this in years, as best as I can recall. I’m sure they have reasons for it, and I trust that those reasons are good ones. No real need to try and publicly second-guess our way through their logistics. Maybe just let it be?
this. so much this.

What else are we supposed to do? Be productive at work? pshaa......

Hello all,
We do apologize for the inconvenience. This particular time was decided upon after considering multiple factors.
Sadly at this point we are already in the thick of it. While we can't promise that something like this will never happen again. We can say that it should not at all be a frequent event.
For the time being we ask for your continued patience. At the end of this there will be a better J-Novel Club experience waiting for you. Mostly under the hood stuff.
Thank you

@sorvani Your link takes a bit of work to make visibile
-
@SomeOldGuy odd, it displays perfectly for me.

-
@sorvani The issue is that it's a log-in-type site. If you're logged in, it works great. If not, not so much. After I logged in, it let me see the graphics is motion. Now, I'm not logged in, and I get a broken image.
-
@SomeOldGuy I'm pretty confident I don't have a yarn.co account but it's playing fine for me, unless you mean you need to be logged into the forums for it to display correctly.
-
The image embed isn't working for me either. Suffice to say whatever site (yarn.co?) isn't great for hotlinking.
-
Hello,
Our apologies for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
The maintenance time has been extended. No ETA as of right now on when it will be completed.

Someone fall asleep in the wheel?

Thank you for taking the time to update us on the situation.
As for the software update - I think it's great that J-Novel is devoting resources to improving and maintaining the software. That's much better than not doing that. I also am glad that J-Novel Club is not a company that works people to the bone and demands overtime and weekends. Work-life balance is precious.
Keep up the good work everyone!

@strangeattractor I think this is essentially the last of the major overhauls that they've been working on that started way back when they redesigned the site, deployed the new reader, API endpoints and switched from credits to coins, so these upgrades have been in the works for a long time.

Bright side, it can't be as bad as, say, your parent company taking control of your Apple account when they acquired you, then years later forgetting to pay Apple after firing the guy responsible for it, getting your legacy apps yanked from the App Store right after you sell another customer on the system.
....Brightest idea to come out of that group was "Hey, why don't you manage your own Apple account?" ...Yeah, why don't we.
One more day until vacation

What ? ! NOOOooo... making work life balance acceptable reduces the chances of truck kun coming for a visit to produce another Isekai!
Oh wait.... maybe that's why they're really offline! Maybe their personnel got a visit from truck kun!

If you are having cloud issues, I recommend wind mages... Seriously though; how goes? I know you don't have an ETA; but if you could use the Twinkie analogy from Ghostbusters; are we talking Vespa, VW, Suburban, City bus, or Statue of Liberty?

@Geezer-Weasalopes Oh, good gnu! Now half of next year's contest entries will be about staff, and therefore ineligible!

The weather should have been our first clue. The morning we were scheduled to begin the final segment of our major update was colder than the norm for the season. Gusts of wind whipping every which way were spinning the fall leaves around in miniature twisters up and down the streets as we made our way into the office.
"Good morning Manager-san!"
"Good morning editor-kun, ready for the last push through this update?"
"Of course sir!"
Famous last words as they say, for what would happen later that day would forever change the way we would view the stories we so proudly publish. -

@jpmspeedbbm The worst part is TWO scheduled sections of Hookup Hickups for today have been delayed... and I'm going to be gone for almost a week after today. ARGH! Have to set up laptop for reading...
