Offline for a major site upgrade

 We're back!

Hi everyone, starting today around 1:00 PM (13:00) GMT, we'll be temporarily offline for approximately five hours as I work on a major upgrade of the BLF site engine and underlying infrastructure. I'll provide updates here as time permits, or whenever I remember to pull my eyes out of my terminal window.  :-)  See you back soon! Thanks for your patience.

[RESOLVED] Waiting for host to resolve some problems

Looks like we're down for a little while until the host sorts out some issues. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Back online after about 30 minutes, due to a patch that went bad on the host's end.

[Finished] Down for maintenance

The first stage is finished and we're back online.

Hi everyone, we'll be briefly offline while I do some routine site maintenance. I hope it won't take long. Thanks in advance for your patience!

[SOLVED] Brief downtime

We had a brief outage, which is now resolved. Temporary issue at the host's end.

[FINISHED] Offline for maintenance

Done. Thanks for your patience!

Hi everyone, I'm still working on fixing some continued performance problems. To that end, the site is currently offline. Please hold tight, I hope it won't take long. Thanks for your patience!

Another brief downtime

Done. Thanks for your patience!

Hi everyone, in the next few minutes I'll be working with our web host to resolve some issues, so there will be another brief downtime. I hope it will be just a few minutes. Thanks for your patience!

BLF will be offline for up to 1 hour today

Done for now.

Hi everyone, BLF will be offline again for anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour starting soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!
