IKEAFANS SITE OUTAGE - EVENING OF AUGUST 22ND
EXACT TIME TO BE DETERMINED

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience. We are upgrading our software and launching a new, more intuitive navigation system with more clearly defined ways to reach the content you are in search of, as well as some new guides and tips to getting the most out of the IKEAFANS site.

The exact time of the outage is as yet undetermined - it will be partially dependent on forum activity, though we expect it will occur sometime after 8pm Eastern DST (GMT -5) and will take between 4 and 8 hours to complete. These things take time - unfortunately, usually more time than we anticipate.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your IKEAFANS experience!

Update! We've been grinding away at the preparation and running through the process on the test server all evening and are about ready to take the live site down to implement the changes.

This could take a while, folks. Please be patient...we hope to be done by daybreak!

Countdown....15 minutes to finish what you're up to! The site will go down at 1am Eastern DST (GMT-5)

Thanks for your understanding!

Susan and James
