I would like to see a solution to the following problem:

As Catawiki due to maintenance etc. is temporarily inaccessible, this comes as a (sometimes quite unpleasant) surprise.

Today I was busy importing a 3CD, with about 65 titles. When I had almost finished entering the data, the message appeared that Catawiki was temporarily inaccessible. As a result, all information already entered has disappeared.

It seems to me that, at the very least, a timely warning is in order so that this phenomenon can be taken into account and unnecessary work is avoided.

Something similar has happened to me before.

Perhaps Catawiki should consider fixed "maintenance windows" at times of the day / night when there is little traffic to implement changes. This would be in line with the way other major sites perform their maintenance.

On the other hand: disruptions cannot of course be planned :-)

King: It seems to me that, at the very least, a timely warning is in order, so that this phenomenon can be taken into account and unnecessary work is avoided.

It's annoying to hear King. A warning appears in advance that maintenance is due, which we normally turn on 10 minutes before maintenance starts. However, if you are on the same page during these 10 minutes (as in your case this morning) then there is no contact with the server and you will not see the warning. If possible, we will ensure that the warning comes earlier.

Perhaps Catawiki should consider fixed "maintenance windows" at times of the day / night when there is little traffic to implement changes. This would be in line with the way other major sites perform their maintenance.

That is already the case. If there is planned maintenance, it will be carried out between 7 and 8 in the morning. That is a relatively quiet moment on the site.

In this morning's case, it was unscheduled maintenance, so unfortunately that was unforeseeable.
