Soon my developer will do some maintenance on the website. While he is working, the forum will be set to 'read only' mode as we might have to rollback updates etc. Would any forum posts be made, these rollbacks would make these disappear, hence I opt to lock the forum while he is working.

Im expecting this to take 1 to 2 days max, and you'll be notified here when this starts.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

The forum will be in read-only mode for 24 to max 48 hours, for scheduled maintenance work.

Update: maintenance is done, we're now testing the server settings. The forum will be available again within 24 hours.

All testing finished - so the forum can (finally!) be back in normal mode. Welcome back and thanks for your patience everybody!

Hoped the change would finally introduce support for UTF8 and emoji. Seems not yet
