Thank you for the info. Maybe you should also change the banner with the reminder
which still says the site will be down for maintenance 05/18 from 0100 AM to
0200 AM.........

Thank you.
May I ask here too, to move the daily ten minutes downtime to an earlier hour?
We here in Israel are getting it every morning at 9am.
Maybe randomize it a bit so we all share it...

Sounds like a good idea at first, but I think regularly scheduled downtime is
better than randomly scheduled downtime. At least I know when the site will go
down ahead of time.

It IS actually random time.
Do you have an idea what means 9:00 EDT time for an European basic customer?
It's just random.

I'd also prefer a 30 minutes or 1 hour warning just before.

True. Even I get it mixed up sometimes. Is it 12:50 to 1:00? or 1:50 to 2:00?

But at least it is at the same time every day/night. What OP is suggesting is
that the downtime should be randomized so that people outside of the USA are
not always experiencing it during the daytime, which sounds like a good idea
at first until you consider the fact that no one will know when the next downtime
is. Imagine trying to do a part out right as the site goes down, not knowing
that it was about to go down because it goes down at a different time every day.

It starts at xx:45.

And I think it depends on daylight saving time because California changes to
(from) DST 2-3 weeks before (resp. after) EU and so we (EU) have two 2-3 periods
where the maintenance time is different.

I don’t think reformy meant ‘totally unpredictable,’ but, anyway, anything other
than ‘always the same’ quickly becomes unpredictable.

Even knowing the time I get surprised….

Hello Sharif,

You can't post your email address public on the forum, if you want to contact
BrickLink you can open a ticket here:

https://helpdesk.bricklink.com/Main

But if you have a suggestion it would be better to post it on the Suggestions
forum topic where other buyers can vote for it.

Hello again,

My apology. I didn’t know that I can’t add my email address. The ticket is requiring
my log in and every time I try it says tgat it’s wrong or unrecognized even though
I am logged in to my account already.

I sent a message to the help desk but not sure if it was received. I have been
trying to communicate with BrickLink admins since December but no luck

Please advise

Regards,

Sharif

On the helpdesk page you need to register again, it is not the same credentials
as in Bricklink. But use the same email address and your ticket will appear in
your account.
