Hi,
Recent issues have highlighted the dire need for upgrading the forum software to the latest version. I've been rather guilty of sticking my head in the sand and take the stance of "if it aint broke don't fix it".
Unfortunately it's got to the stage where some things are now broken so I'll have to take the plunge and apply the updates. It will also add some nice new features and allow me to progress an idea for a resource repository.
So I'll be running a few last minutes checks for the upgrade and sort out a full backup, probably tomorrow* (Wednesday). If all goes to plan and tests are successful then I'll add a banner notice to say that the forum is likely to be offline for an hour or so whilst I apply the updates. Give everyone a little time at their workbench so there be some interesting new content when we are back on line.
Whilst the forum is offline if there are any problems I will post updates on twitter - viewable via the browser so you don't need an account so view the updates.

*ps Wednesday was tomorrow when I started the post. I took too long so "tomorrow" is now "today" - but I'll be doing the tests and backs during daylight hours!!
