Service reminder: Brief (?) server outage at 4PM EDT

[Klaus]

Need to upgrade nodebb to the latest version, which will supposedly bring a few improvements.

Shouldn't take long (famous last words...).

I've made an external backup of the forum, just in case.

[George K]

Improvements...like what?

[Mik]

Thanks, Klaus. I appreciate the effort you put in.

No more cinder block magic discussions. We have flown too close to the sun on that one. The barge is not a fan.
