Someone said it happens during a database backup or something like that.

If it happens sometime between 03:00 to 04:00 UTC then it's probably due to the daily database backup, otherwise it's news to me.

That sounds familiar, I spoke to infra and it's due to the DB backup.

Sure is technically wonderful being unicode compliant on the db side. But damn did I miss being able to post on this place . I coped just by staying away from the site....mostly...

even this afternoon (my time) forum was very very slow to respond.
may be everyone was accessing it at that time. though it did not show many people online browsing at that time.
what is really different after change of db upgrade?
faster ? no it looks same to me.
