UPDATE (2026-08-03):
Technical note: Redis DB memory filled up; the fix was to flush Redis.
(Not urgent, but still to do: figure out what caused Redis' memory to "fill up" in the first place.)

As of this writing we have an issue with the forum software not allowing new logins.
But if you're already logged in, your existing login session should continue to work (so please don't deliberately log out, as you may not be able to log back in until this issue is resolved).
I don't have a fix yet. (Simple thing like "let's restart the app and see what happens" has been tried to no avail.)
I cannot find any useful information on the NodeBB community forum yet, but I am starting a new thread in the "tech support" forum that's now queued for approval to be posted.
@wtg if you don't mind, please see if you can get into "admin" mode and let me know. (I cannot get into "admin" mode myself due to this login issue.) Thanks in advance.
OK ... I think the "Reactions" icon issue is fixed now.
If you still see the issue, please refresh/reload in your browser.
If the issue still persists after you refresh/reload, please let me know.
Will be doing some maintenance to attempt to fix the "Reactions" icon issue.
WTF may be unavailable on-and-off for a while as I may need to trigger multiple restarts.
Our forum's underlying operating system has been upgraded (now Ubuntu 24.04 LTS).
This allows the middleware to be automatically updated (now Cloudron 9.1.5).
The forum software itself will also continue to be automatically updated (now NodeBB 4.10.1).
I have made backups that will be kept for a few days just in case we need to roll back (low probability; this is precautionary).
If this upgrade continues to do well (high confidence!), the current technology stack that we are on should be good until 2029. 
To be clear, the intended operating system upgrade still has not succeeded.
The "clean up" was merely to clear out some now-useless artifacts left over from the failed upgrade attempt.
DONE
Need to do shutdown to do some clean-up ... should not take long.
Upgrade attempt failed. 
Everything rolled back to the whole-server backup that was made just before I attempted the upgrade.
Will keep running existing OS & software until further notice.
The software we rely on to host WTF-Beta has dropped support for the current version of operating system we use.
So I am working on upgrading this underlying operating system, WTF-Beta may be "down" from time to time.
Fingers crossed!
