PLEASE READ: Forum Maintenance Scheduled

[Viddyvane]

Hello all!

We'll be undergoing some forum maintenance on February 15th, 2018 starting at midnight, 12 am EST. During this brief maintenance window forums will be temporarily unavailable, and we apologize for the inconvenience. After maintenance is complete, please post any issues you encounter with the forums here in this thread. We'll be monitoring closely for feedback, and we're hoping for a smooth transition. Thanks all!

Best,
Caitlin
Assistant Community Manager

Hi Caitlin!

Most of our members won't see that notice, buried as it is in Technical Issues. In the admin, the software does have an option for a separate "above the posts" all-forums forum announcement. We used to have access to it, but, sadly, no more. But you probably do. I would strongly advise making use of it!

Thanks for the reminder Perknose! I've added a notice per your request.

Are you assistant community manager or the assistant to the community manager?

 

[Iron Woode]

I am curious about what kind of maintenance is being done.

I hope it will give us square avatars again.

Thanks for the (inadvertent) forum announcement shout-out, Caitlin. Branding! Getting my name out there! It's what I'm all about. Look for my line of casual internet apparel to drop any day now!

Iridescent forum-surfing thongs and assless chaps! For the man whose confidence suffuses his mother's basement!

I hope it solves my auto logout problem.

Edge likes to do that, FF doesn't. IME anyway.

Is this Spectre/Meltdown related, and/or is the forum software being updated? Just curious.

 

[Pick2]

The update may Cause a meltdown ...

Increased forum monetization under the guise of enhanced user experience.

Increased forum monetization under the guise of enhanced user experience.

I hope they don't do silly stuff and put more ads on this forum. Current configuration is quite bearable for me.
To forum officials:
Please do this advertisement stuff wisely unless you want me to put this forum on my adblock blacklist (again).

 

[Viddyvane]

We're doing some software updates that require us to take the forums offline for a short period of time, hence the announcement.

Annnnd we're back from our scheduled maintenance. Everything appears to be going nice and smoothly so far.
If you encounter any issues, or spot anything out of the ordinary in the usual functioning of the forum, do let us know here and we'll look into it promptly.

Thanks all!
