I will be upgrading the Forum software, and moving the forum to a new server, at 6pm this evening.
Downtime should be limited to about 10 minutes at the most (I've been rehearsing this afternoon!).

PS,
It says I was last on here at 12:46 today.
Wrong.
I was last on here only 15 or 20 minutes ago.

Hmmm... that's odd. I copied the database across while I had the forum off-line. Are you missing any posts?
Re: Forum upgrade this evening at 6pm - Completed
I can see posts of yours at 06:16 pm this evening, so I don't think we've lost anything.
Might be due to moving to a new server, and the login cookies changing.

Sorry, brief outage when I was trying to optimise the database and overdid things a bit. Should be reliable again now.

I was panicking when I saw "forum unavailable" an hour or so ago. But it's fine now, and nothing seems to have vanishied.
