Forums Maintenance - 14 February @ 8:00 UTC

Configuration
1

Hey, friends! It was mentioned in December when we introduced a new potato that we need to perform an update to the Discourse version we are on. It’s now that time! :tada:

On Friday at 8 AM UTC / 3 AM Eastern, we will be putting the forums into Read Only mode for several hours. We expect to keep it locked down for 6 hours, however it’s possible it could be done earlier than that. With this upgrade I should be able to start working on some improvements here on the forums and utilize some new features in Discourse. :clap:t2:

Set a reminder so you don’t forget that logging on here on Friday might mean you can only read things (or don’t - I’m not your boss)! Once I am online on Friday, which is around when the upgrade should be completed, I will lock this thread to confirm we’re done. :grinning:

I’m partial to Au Gratin, but I’m sure however you serve the new potato it’ll be delicious!

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll try to survive without this forum for a few hours. If I’m not back soon after it comes on line again, send out a search party.

Maybe that’s Missy’s plan: keep the women happy so their men are allowed to be on the forum… :thinking:

LMAO

Well, for most in Europe this will happen during the day while y’all work, for most in the Americas this will happen during the early morning.

Still plenty of time in the day to ignore your partners by being on the forums. :wink:

EYYYYYYY things are back! :tada:

The font changed. I didn’t expect this. Sorry if it messes with your object permanence as much as it’s messing with mine. :grimacing: :joy:

Now I get to dig into fun new features with petro and see how much more I can mess with your object permanence. :rofl:
