The server\hosting company will do some changes\upgrades. It will affect the current forum software, which will need some tweaks. I am currently working out all the why\how\when, and gathering info.

In november one may encounter periods with forum visual\layout disturbances. The 'Maintenance' (offline) mode may also be used. Posts and content will not be affected. More info when the process starts.

ok, a few things done, updated some bits here and there, most importantly the "like" things, and happy to see it seems nobody has lost their scores, and it all still works. More to be done later on. Any remarks welcome.

ps, one may have seen the practical spaces (good for mobile\finger use :O) gone missing in

Needed because of resetting things before updating, will look into adding the spaces back later.

Hasta la vista.

So, some 'things' are done, and hopefully everything 'should' work.
Please report here if anyone experiences anything special.
Thanks.

All looks well, please report here if anything strange happens :O)
