Actually, if you know how to switch it so I don't have to manually change the "poster name" each time, that would be a great help. 
use the settings feature on the left hand side of your screen, right underneath Forums, does the trick nicely.

those tend to be newer players 70% of whom wont make it past 6 months anyway
well what is a 24 hour training time loss for a new player ??? Nothing...
it gets bad for the older players because it throws em back 24 hours and screws the whole plan from aliance or corp up
i don t think it s ccp s fault that some players don t think forward to what if

I can only wish you the best of luck when you deal with the wonderful world of contractors. Paying someone X thousand dollars, half up-front, to do something to your house for N days, and only THEN finding out if they knew what they were doing. THAT is something to complain about, EVE downtime means I can finally watch all the stuff my DVR has been recording.

I also stayed up until 4 am after unexpectedly having the server crash a few hours early before they said it would. I was just getting ready to change it to a long skill too. Because of this i have no skill in training now and lose 24 hours or more of training time........
Sharasa
Yes, this happened to me too. But so what ? The fault does not rest with CCP and they gave us plenty of advance warning about this upgrade so you (and I) could have set a long skill training well before the downtime to be safe instead of being sorry.
But you know what ? I don't care !
Ok, so I lose 30hrs worth of skill training ? Big Deal.
As much as I love EVE and will continue to play it, I have to say this to all those whiners out there -
GET A (REAL) LIFE - IT's A GOO**** GAME !
If you lose a few hours of skill training it's not the end of your world. If EVE has became that important too you then you seriously need to re-look at your priorities in life.
Play this game for fun and enjoy it but recognise that it is a form of entertainment and nothing more. There are more important things to do with your time (and mine) than whine about a little lost skill training.....

CCP can not be blamed for ISP issues and thus are not held responsible for your lossed skill time. For your infomation.... most of North America were stuck with your problem, however a few weren't.
The Internet is a web, that means there's more than 1 way of getting to a location. If you couldn't change your DNS and clear your network cache that's your fault, for that would have given you a different set of nodes to connect via.
Secondly, would you wait to the last day to write an assignment for university. Hell no. You'd do it a few weeks before it's due. So why not the same with your skills.
5 Days left on BS lvl5 :)
Changed my alts skill to BC lvl5... I won't need it untill kali, but its better to have something skilling than nothing.

No, I wouldn't wait until the last day to write an assignment.
However, EVE skills are hardly like assingments. I'd say they're closer to a gas tank.
Would I wait until I needed gas to fill it? Hell yeah. I wouldn't wait until the last minute, but I'd do it within, say, 4 hours.
Which was my plan. Train a useful skill until 3 hours or so before DT starts, then switch to a longish (18 day) skill that will train while my account is lapsed.

Well, since you waited till the last hour to train a skill..you and every other moron here that waited till the last minute have noone to blame but yourselves! Welcome to RL where things rarely go the way you want them to...ever.
You just learned the HARD way to NOT wait till the last minute next time they do a major upgrade. You have now finished - using common sense- 101.

Not sure what I should do atm, been reading threw the fourms for some help on the new hardware installed, it may be causing this, but every time i double click on the EvE-Online Icon (Shortcut) it tells me "Your EVE client installation may have modified, damaged or corrupt files. Please re-install the game client." So should I re-install eve?

Hey, I know!
How about CCP sends out eve-mails to all players, informing them that there will be a downtime and that they should set a long skill ahead of time for good measure - just to be on the safe side.
That way, no one could whine that they don't read news/forums and didn't know about the downtime and lost training time to it.
BTW, lets get this straight, long skill=\=1d 2h 45s; long skill=4d 21h 33s. M'kay? Set that Caldari Cruisers LVL4 and chill, it's good for you. I guarantee it!
And another thing, if you are planning to play this game for any extended period of time, say at least for next two months -- NEWSFLASH! If you lose 30 hours, IT DOESN'T BLOODY MATTER! M'KAY!? GEEZ!

Download the latest client again and re-install from that if the problem persists.

Well It's 07:20 and I can log onto Eve! Whoo Hoo! Nice one folks!
I understand folks could connect even before then - much kudos to CCP.
As for you winers "I didn't set my skill" oh comon!
For how long was the warning up on the forums? "the last second" to set a skill doesn't have to be within minutes or even hours - set the damm thing DAYS beforehand!
When you tell a friend "I'll be there in a minute" and you take 5 minutes does he ask for compensation? 
The difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible |

Why does it take 24 hours to add *extra* servers? It's not like the existing ones are being inplace replaced with new hardware.
I'm just curious, because in infrastructure that I support adding "stuff" would be done with virtually no downtime as it doesn't/shouldn't affect the existing infrastructure.
its called covering you butt. -especially when you have a bunch of click
happy flaming hamster trolls that scream bloody murder the second CCP goes one
minute over they're scheduled uptime. overstating time estimates
on big network jobs is always a smart move. puts less stress on
the techs doing the job. less stress, less probability of time-stress
related errors. -and you come out smelling like a rose
when you come back up ahead of schedule.
-hey, even Scotty did it.
(btw, good move CCP on the downtime strategy)
ofc, Murphy pays no mind to such things..
****
as for all those clamoring about the training time issues from the ISP blackout
, 24hrs in the grand EVE scheme of things is nothing more
than a grain of sand in an hour glass.
ffs, grow up people and stop crying over spilled milk.
the fact that the servers were acting up for a few hours prior to
the dropout should have clued you to take no chances if it's
that important to you.
better yet, write a letter to Level 3 explaining how
your life was thrown into utter turmoil causing you
to lose precious training time in a MMORG due to their
lax security and demand that they drop 1440 minutes
worth of skill points into an envelope and overnight
to you it immediately!
-silly wabbits..
ok, now i'm starting to turn into a troll..
i shall now return to my cave and hide my troll
costume.. (my apologies)
(Props to CCP on the upgrade. everything running smooth
on this end so far)

Lots of people are normally very quick to jump on the "OH NOES the servers are still down" style threads when CCP goes over, even by a short period on a patch day, upgrade or even standard Downtime.
I hope all those who normally start crying if CCP are 10 seconds late will now join me in saying ..
Good Job in getting the servers back up ahead of schedule

I don't mean to fart in anyone's cookies.... but please keep in mind that CCP doesn't actually do any of the hardware installation (which is why this server upgrade and the past server upgrade went so **** smoothly) and they brought the servers up about 2.5 hours early to take them down an hour later. You should be praising the d00dz in the server room in London for doing their jobs right... 'cause CCP has issues doing their's (Dragon code branch = prime example).

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was a joint operation, so to say.

Have experienced problems with the scanner. When scanning at maximum range with a setting of 360 degrees the scanner app hangs. The only way to get it to reset is to redock at a station.
Other than that CCP congrats on getting the universe back online ahead of schedule. After convo'ing with a few of my corp mates we all agree performance seems to be better, course full loads aren't applied yet but we are holding our breath!

Well played to all involved in the upgrade.
Prob went so smoothly to it being an install of more of the same kit where as the last time such a large kit install was done it was all brand new bleeding edge not played with before kit.
I applaud the fact that you have said it's a 24 hour DT and then bring it up early. MUCH MUCH better than saying it's a 12 hour DT and then extending it by a hour or two here and there.
Thanks to all involved once again.

Do you have "Use Overview Settings" ticked? If not, the scanner will scan for everything which is sure to take a lot of time in even the most unpopulated systems.
And no need to dock, right click the window's title and select "Close" - just like you would in Windows.
