Site Maintenance on December 11, 2009 Ross | December 10th, 2009

On Friday (December 11), to improve the speed and stability of our site, we’ll be upgrading both the hardware and software that powers crowdspring.com. During those upgrades, our site will be offline – but we’ll update you about our progress when you visit our homepage.

We will begin the maintenance at 9:30 am CST/ 3:30 pm GMT – at that time, we will bring the site offline. The maintenance could take up to 24 hours to complete (but we will make every effort to keep it as short as possible).

We truly, truly apologize for the inconvenience but we also truly, truly hope that you’ll find the site to be much more well behaved after this update. If you have a project that will be affected by this, or if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us – support@crowdspring.com or on Twitter: @crowdspring @rosskimbarovsky or @mike_samson – and we’ll do absolutely anything we can to help. We’ll be more than happy to extend any project affected by this outage or find other creative solutions to minimize the impact on you, so don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance for your understanding. We’ll keep you posted along the way on our homepage.

wish you’d make the posted design show in its actual size with no resizing cuz right now we have to upload our designs to other website host so we could show the buyers how the design actually looks.

hibernation time… I’ll be bak. Cheers all!

didems on December 10, 2009 at 2:58 pm CST

hope this site works better.hope some problems fixed up!

Ross on December 10, 2009 at 3:42 pm CST

exactlyy – this will be one of the imprvements. The creative who submitted a design and the buyer, will be able to see that design in actual sign. Everyone else will still see a smaller size in a modal.

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes.

Ross on December 10, 2009 at 6:32 pm CST

riccolesmana – we won’t be changing the look of the site (we’re quite attached to it) but we’ll have a few tweaks here and there – I’ll write about those in a few days. How would you suggest we change our look?
