Morning everyone.
Just a heads up that the forum will be offline this weekend while the yearly maintenance takes place.
These tasks normally take place at this time of year, before the trials start, while the forum is quiet.
This year we'll be bumping the server up a version. Over the past couple of months I've been working with a consultant, running test updates on a mirror version of the site, to streamline the process and nail down any issues. Due the size of our forum and sacrosanct requirement that the full history of the community be retained, the process will take at least one day, most probably the whole weekend. Fortunately the work carried out to date will mean the process should be executed as quickly as possible!
