All~

The forum will close its doors today at 1030am GMT for an upgrade to the latest stable version (3.0.9). This should take about four hours.

I will post again here when complete.

It's currently 1004 here. I've pushed back the shutdown to 1030 GMT as I'm running a bit behind with the aquaticrepublic upgrade.

Cheers,

We're back up and running. Performing an audit of forum mods and additional features now, but it's back to business as usual.

For some reason the "Recent activity in the Forum" went as far as yesterday, or , in other words no new posts were shown since yesterday (Mats' Chaetostoma/Cordylancistrus posting).
Does this have anything to do with the move?

Not an effect of the server move, but is an effect of the recent forum upgrade. Sorry, not any real way around that one. No email notifications are affected.

Thanks. A couple of problems, but nothing too bad!
