At midnight today the site will be shutdown and will be offline for at least 3 hours while we perform a major upgrade.
We’ve been on the same platform now for almost seven years and, frankly we fancied doing a bit of redecorating. But, more than that it allows us to access a ton of new features and to develop a number of things that we want the site to be able to do which is not possible on the current platform.
EXPECT SOME FEATURES NOT TO WORK!!
There will be some things that will no longer function, repairs@ being the main one it will be down indefinitely while we completely redesign the module for the new platform.
The forums will be back online in the wee small hours of tomorrow morning with the rest of the site and, again, it’s a completely new platform with a ton of new features.
FORUMS WILL BE INDEXING FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS
Due to the huge volume of information on here the forums will be indexing for 24 hours. That means that not all posts will appear or appear how they should in the forums when you pop in while this process is running.
This is completely unavoidable and a pain that we all have to live with for a a day or so.

However, here’s the good news…
The search function will be so, so much better and will actually work once that completes, that’s why it all has to be indexed.
There will be other issues but, as some people who have had a sneak peek at the new site will tell you, it should all be worth it in the end.
