Good to know ahead of time, appreciate the heads up. Will it affect saved drafts or anything in the private messages? I've got a fairly long post I've been putting together about a sighting cluster over the Solent from the late 90s and I'd hate to lose it if the browser refreshes mid-session or something.
Also wondering roughly how long maintenance usually takes - last time I think it ran a bit longer than expected and I kept trying to load the site not realising it was still down. Is there a way to get notified when it's back up, or do we just have to keep checking?
