Hey everyone,
Just wanted to provide a heads up that on Monday, April 29th, we’ll be performing a significant update to the forum. As a result of this, the forum will undergo an extended maintenance period starting at 7 AM EDT. We expect this maintenance to end somewhere between 5 PM and 8 PM EDT.
Although we try to avoid as much downtime as possible, this specific maintenance-related outage will ultimately enable us to build some great new features and functionality – from a modern and responsive interface, to exciting new enhancements that improve the forum experience. A whole backlog of development work has been deferred for a while now in anticipation of this migration, so we’re thrilled to finally be taking this step to establish a solid foundation for the future of the community.
Here’s what to expect on and after the 29th:
Best,
– Joshua

Here’s what to expect on and after the 29th:
- Starting in the morning on the US East Coast, the forum will be down for 10-12 hours or so. During this time, the forum will be in maintenance mode, with occasional outages
- Following this maintenance period, you will see a refreshed interface for the forum. It will look pretty darn different – and fairly spartan – immediately after launch
- Over the next few weeks, we will be rolling out additional new features, functionality and enhancements as we build, test, and deploy them. We expect that the forum will be 'feature complete' in the next 6-8 weeks
Best,
– Joshua
