Hi everyone,
There seems to be a few people that are having trouble logging in (or joining) our discussion forum. James and I have tried all the tricks we know - but we haven't been able to fix it.
However, we are running a very old version of the SMF forum software. So we have to upgrade. We hope this will go smoothly - but it will take some time.
To allow us this time, we will be closing the Forum tomorrow (Friday) night with the goal of having it back and running (with the new software) by Sunday evening. We hope that all the posts and discussions (and bad puns) will automatically migrate over. We'll see how that goes.
We're timing this with our normal weekly backup schedule so that if things do go poorly, we can easily set things back.
So, don't be alarmed when the forum goes down on Friday night - it will be back.
Thanks!
-Ed & James.
