Was there a site outage earlier today? Also noticing that everyone now has a logo with the first initial of their name when they post.

No known outage. Yes, there was a software update.

Ah, ok; so, there was a software update performed on a production site during working hours where some, such as myself experienced a temporary disruption, got it.

We have a specific update process that consists of testing and non-production servers. At some point the new software has to be pushed. It's not a very measurable outage.

All accounts who didn't/don't set their own avatar will have default avatar using the first letter of their username and a randomly set background color. Other changes include an updated footer, new quick and direct link to UserCP (gear icon in header), and a few back-end updates.
