Hi everyone,

This coming Friday, 6th May, we will be taking down the Forum for a short while to make a database change. This is part of ongoing work to improve forum stability.

The work will commence in the early hours of the morning at 1am. We anticipate the forum being down for about an hour.

Ian

    Although you have put the date in this thread (6th May) you havnt put the date on the announcement at the top of the forum.

    All you have put is 1AM tomorrow morning.

    So when it is 00.01 tomorrow, will the announcement change to 1AM today???

    Remember, tomorrow never comes.;)
