i could login as soon as the time it said was over, but i was just wondering if it wasnt something bad that was happening to my account. i dont see anything different either

thats why it is important to keep up with the announcements on the main webpage and grid status.

It will keep you up to date with planned en even unplanned maintenance.

Omin0us,

Basically all these maintenance activities are update and correction to the various databases that allow the SL Grid & us to exist.

Back in the days when I was an internal accounting  auditor for a Fortune 100 company, the systems analysts and programmers would perform maintenance activities to correct an issue that potentially could affect our customer accounts. This was frequently an unscheduled activity done on weekends. If the issue was major we might be told that some of our departmental systems would be down early for an emergency fix.

SL is the same way.

So during the global planned update/repair activity your account was flagged as potentially affected by the issue being corrected. It was queued for additional processing. This why the status message was left for you. LL doing what needed to be done to make you right!

Not noticing what was fixed means that the maintenance was a success for your account. [finfers crossed]

LL may publish a detailed Blog entry about this maintenance activity in a few days. This is something new we've been seeing as of late.
