I just updated the forum software to the latest version.
If things look different or don’t work, that’s most likely the reason.
I will be moving this forum to a new provider with better hardware for less cost. That should improve the performance of this forum quite a bit. The old server was often running close to 100% RAM just for the basic forum processes.
The move is going to happen sometime today. Minor disruptions of the service may happen.
But let’s be honest: Not much is happening here right now, so probably nobody will notice anyway.
