Noted, appreciate the heads up. Saturday night is probably the least disruptive time for something like this so good call on the timing.
Quick question for the mods - any idea roughly how long it'll be down? Only asking because I've got a couple of threads I want to follow up on and I'd hate to lose half-written replies if I'm mid-post when it goes offline. Does the site give any warning before it cuts out or does it just drop without notice?
Also worth asking - will there be any changes to how the forum works after the maintenance, or is this purely backend stuff? Sometimes these updates quietly shift things around and you don't notice until something doesn't work the way it used to.
