Fri 9:30pm CDT Unscheduled Maintenance

Church Director has been taken offline tonight to repair our database. We should have the system back up soon. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

UPDATE: The system is now restored. We used the latest database backup possible, but a few hours of data may have been lost. We apologize for any problems while we work out the final wrinkles in this beta release.

Website Update

This is a notice that a website update is planned for Sun 12/23/2007. The site may be down at various times during the day as we upgrade the site to the latest version. While most upgrades are minimal, this upgrade is larger in scope due to the large amount of changes to the design, various enhancements, and bug fixes. I will post an update once everything is complete.

Update: The site has been updated, and now includes some updates to the ‘Getting Started’ section of your team planner, along with the updates outlined in previous posts on this blog and various bug fixes.

If you see something out of the ordinary as a result of this upgrade, please let us know using the feedback form on the website.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Network Issues Today

Our hosting provider is experiencing an outage across their entire network, impacting your ability to reach Church Director (and other websites hosted at the same location). I’ll keep you updated as things get repaired, but for now it may be spotty access, as their connectivity fluctuates.

Update: It seems that our hosting provider was losing network traffic due to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on their upstream network provider. The offenders have since been blocked and all service has returned to normal.
