Server maintenance this Sunday

Written on October 8th, 2009, by Zoli Radnai

We’ll have to unplug Prezi.com this Sunday morning from 10-13 AM CET (08:00-11:00 UTC), due to software upgrades. The goal of the server upgrade is to remove a certain component from the infrastructure that might – in some cases – can cause malfunction.

During the process, our online services will be unavailable. This means:

  1. You won’t be able to reach Prezi.com, the online editor,
  2. You can’t login or reach your online Prezis from PreziDesktop (offline editor available for Pro users).
  3. You can still edit, and export presentations with PreziDesktop in offline mode (since the software is not necessarily connected to the internet).
  4. Of course you can even show your Prezis during downtime, if you have previously downloaded them to your desktop.

We will try to make this process as painless as possible. Our most effective weapon to achieve this goal is transparency and support.

For this reason, you can comment to this post or ask any questions at Prezisupport on Twitter while our data center is offline. Once the upgrade has finished, we will notify you immediately on the blog and on Twitter as well.

    Hi –

    Your app is AMAZING. Over the last week or so, I have just been trying to figure out what it can handle, and so far, it seems to be able to deal with whatever one throws at it, across a huge range of scales. Starting this afternoon, however, I have experienced some malfunctions. For instance, the filled rectangle frame tool makes “invisible” frames (I know they are there b/c I can select them…they then become visible, turning invisible again when I click away). Equally worrisome, some, but not all filled rectangle frames in saved prezis have taken on the same invisibility attributes.

    I hope this is related to the work you all are preparing to do….

    Thanks for any help you can offer,

    Joel B.

    This tool has awesome potential and i will follow it closely. I have not purchased an upgrade yet but as i try it out and if it lives up to expectations i will upgrade soon.

    There are a few graphic problems. Mainly the grid is very useful but it changes position as i move around the page which makes it difficult to develop larger graphical ideas.

    Some minor graphic facility will also help a lot. For example, resizing objects, lines and words without the fixed aspect ratio as it is now would be very handy.

    Some simple colour and font options would be cool. I don’t need many options because simple is best but a few extra basic options would be great.
