The most worrisome parts of the upgrade have finished successfully. However, it is currently going through and converting all the old threads to the new format and that is taking longer than expected. It is possible we may be in maintenance mode until Tuesday morning UK time (very late Monday EDT). This is one of those "until it finishes" where even admins are stuck waiting and watching the numbers.

We are currently in the process of upgrading the forum software to Xenforo v2. All existing discussions, messages, and member accounts will be converted and available on the new version.

We do not know how long this will take, but it is a big upgrade and best guess is 6+ hours . This page will be updated with more information if we run into problems or if the update takes longer than expected.
