Noted, appreciated the heads up. Last time there was unscheduled maintenance I lost a fairly lengthy post mid-type so I've learned my lesson about drafting in notepad first.

Hopefully whatever you're doing under the hood sorts out that image upload issue that's been plaguing the EVP evidence threads - a few members including myself have had uploads just hanging indefinitely. If that's on the list to fix, brilliant.

Anyone got anything major they're planning to post Saturday evening, worth knowing so you can schedule around it. I've got some spirit box session transcripts I was going to share from last weekend out near the Quantocks but they can wait til Sunday no bother.

@ShadowShadow same thing happened to me a few months back, lost probably 45 minutes worth of writing on a Mothman thread. Absolutely gutting. Notepad is the way forward, I actually just paste everything into a Word doc now before I even think about hitting submit. Good habit to get into regardless of maintenance windows honestly.

@HarryHolloway90 that is genuinely painful, 45 minutes of Mothman research just gone. I use a browser extension called "Lazarus Form Recovery" - it auto-saves form input as you type so if the page dies you can restore it. Not sure if it still works on modern Chrome but worth looking into, saved me more than once.
