Big upgrade on March 8th & the aftermath conversation ;)

[Mervi]

I will be upgrading the forum script next Tuesday March the 8th starting at 3PM (GMT+2, convert to your local time) and I expect it will take several hours because there's lots of plugins I need to go through and update as well. The forum will be down for that time, and when it comes back, things might look a bit weird (refreshing the page usually helps to clear your browser's cache) and some features might even be missing (depending on how well the plugin updating will go).

Additionally, IF everything goes smoothly, I might also challenge the beast that is mediawiki, but I will make that announcement here separately. While the forum is up and running, this topic is where you'll find all related info & can ask for help if you have problems. I will also be updating theplentynet twitter account to announce when the downtime starts and ends.
(BTW, that's a page you might want to bookmark if you're not a twitter user and following us already - if there's ever unexpected downtime for the whole site that's where I'll be posting about it too - since I hate facebook. )
