The next version of eve, 1.2.7, is nearly ready to be deployed to all sites. This update has some major changes/improvements to the way eve handles searches. Because of this, the upgrade process involves some fairly major data conversion and reindexing.
When we perform the upgrade, the conversion process may result in some slowness for your site. We will be performing the upgrades *overnight*, when most sites have very little traffic, but we just want to make sure you are aware that some slowness may occur while the upgrade is in progress.
After the upgrade is complete, we will then have to reindex your site, and while the re-indexing is happening, all search features will be completely unavailable. Search may be unavailable for up to 12-24 hours, depending on how long it takes to reindex the sites on a given server.
We will be setting a schedule for this upgrade beginning next week and you will receive an email from us once your particular server is scheduled.
“eve” is this forum’s software and Infopop is the company that provides the servers and maintains Eve.
“you will receive an email” – the “you” means the forum’s administrator(s).
