Site maintenance: Periodic full Discourse updates

Typically at least once a month, Maker Forums is not available for a minute or two as we update the forum software. You will normally see a maintenance notice during these times. Just wait and it will return to the page you were trying to reach as soon as the maintenance is finished.

Somewhat less frequently, an update will require rebooting the system on which Maker Forums runs. When that happens, there will typically be a 1-2 minute outage during which the maintenance notice is not shown, followed by a short period during which the maintenance notice is shown. Again, just wait and the system should recover.

Feel free to join us on slack where you will see notices posted in the #help channel and can ask there for updates.
