sad Unable to upload and report WUs this morning...

For a bit more than an hour now, I noticed that several of my hosts have not been able to neither upload nor report WUs, the logs reporting "transient HTTP error" and "HTTP service unavailable" respectively...

This happens both at my local hosts as well as several remote ones that I was able to check this morning...

Well, that only vaguely explains the issue. And I did not see this article posted where it would be expected to be easily seen... sad

I got an email from WCG about it on March 2nd. Check your Communication Preferences.

I did not get such email and I checked (and complained) a few times in the past (you can see that I am around here for quite a while) my Communication Preferences.

Other projects keep pestering through the BOINC agent notices about such (and less important) issues, can't see why WCG can't do the same for events like this...

Btw, for what it's worth, WUs are being uploaded and reported again for the last 15-20min or so...

Yup, it was notified there, too:
"World Community Grid: Planned Maintenance on Monday, March 5
We are performing database updates on our servers on Monday, March 5 beginning at 18:00 UTC.
01/03/2018 21:01:09 ยท more... "
where more... takes you to articleID=554 as above. My Notice time is in UTC, I think.
