Hi,<br/>
<br/>
The other blog post you're quoting is completely unrelated. We always have a back up in place.....we actually call it a roll back. If there's an issue, we roll back the chanages (sometimes it doesn't always work out this way of course.....as is technology!). The IT group is making some hardware upgrades across all of the Active Network, not just eteamz. It's the same type of hardware upgrades we've had over the last couple months with no issues. But again, if there is then IT rolls it back. It has nothing to do with the features of eteamz or anything of that nature.<br/>
<br/>
I don't recall the welcome issue you're referring to. The 7/23 post you're referring to had nothing to do with a welcome message. All of the Active Network was down during that outage. Per my post, we detected a security issue so it was best to take the site down.<br/>
<br/>
About 2 years ago when the logins changed, there were glitches and we worked literally around the clock to fix them.
The news of "some hardware upgrades" fills me with fear and trepidation,
scheduled just days before our season Opening Day.
My question: + Do you have a backup plan in place, to revert immediately to the original setup, if a piece of hardware (or its accompanying new software) does not work as anticipated??+ I am asking the question, with this firmly in mind:" 0 Temporary downtime tonight - 10 pm PST

The site will be down temporarily tonight (7/23) at 10pm PST for maintenance. We expect it to last no longer than 10 minutes."
"Update 7/23 - The above Active products are now fully functioning.
We apologize that this incident occurred but the result is a better, more secure eteamz. We know that this is a critical time for many teams and hope that the outage was not too much of an inconvenience. Your security and safety while using eteamz is our #1 priority."
The above blogs were immediately followed by a severe glitch in our ability to update the Welcome Page, a "filter issue" rendered our Welcome page inoperable for two weeks. We remember it well. (It was right at the beginning of our Season's Playoffs)...
...and earlier, when Active.com needed ETeams to change all logins for the merge, ETeams users were unable to login for over a week.
So, in light of upgrade/change history, I'm just askin'
