Slight downtime on Monday, 8/20

[Rico]

This coming Monday (8/20) my host is going to upgrade my hosting servers with the new version of MySQL.  The forums and site might be down for a brief time then.  Not sure at what time this will happen on Monday.  Here is the message about this:

Dear Rick,

In an effort to improve MySQL performance on our hosting
platform, on the morning of August 20, we will be upgrading the
following database servers from MySQL 4.1 to MySQL 5:

  * mysql09.powweb.com
  * mysql10.powweb.com
  * mysql11.powweb.com

Your database is hosted on one of these servers and, as a result,
Monday morning there should be approximately 15 minutes during
which your database will not be accessible--at this time, we'll
be copying and upgrading your database to run using MySQL 5.

MySQL 5 better handles the many simultaneous requests our new
database servers receive. The upgrade should therefore enable
your site to take fuller advantage of the improved hardware we've
added in the past couple months. We're expecting that this
upgrade to MySQL 5 will help to resolve any intermittent MySQL
issues you've been experiencing.

For more information about the upgrade to MySQL 5, and how it
might affect your site, please read the following Important
Systems Notice:

We're excited about this change, and hope that it yields great
performance improvements across our platform. Please contact us
if you have any questions:

Best wishes,

The PowWeb Team

Just a little reminder.  This will be happening sometime today.
