DIRECTRAFFIC CENTER ENHANCEMENTS:
The DirecTraffic Center® will be unavailable for approximately 45 hours; from 3:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, October 1 through 12:00 Noon PDT on Sunday, October 3; while we implement service enhancements. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Anybody have an idea what's happenning? Looks like some major changes. Maybe they are going to try and find the reason their servers are so slow?

Looks like there is going to be a big change in the DTC. I don't think it has ever been offline for that long. I just hope that it is all up and running on Monday morning.

Doesn't make the outage any better, but double check the date. That's actually next weekend.

My guess is that it has to do with the change to matching.

I am with TAK. I think that will be when they change matches. I really hope they speed things up that weekend too. I am stuck this morning because Overture won't let me sign in. I hate when my morning is held up by Overture, and it is ALWAYS them.

I think it is that, the information I got said it was supposed to go into effective october 1st. Personally I don't like the switch. I just hope standard match still shows up before the new match type

Sorry, just noticed that it is for next weekend.

The last time it went down for a whole weekend it took them weeks to get the bugs out.

It will be intersting to see what impact these changes will have on impressions and CTR.

You besides the full week it was down in July of 2003?

Has anyone ever heard of a big site going down for 2 days for an upgrade? What a joke.

And they appear to be down right now. System Temporarily Unavailable.
