Maintenance Announcement - 2025-03-22

[admin]

I plan to update the forum software sometime over this weekend to get over the issue (previously discussed here) that has been preventing us from updating since January 2025, and hope to get us back to doing automatic updates again.

There will be multiple restarts so at times you may see that this website/app is unavailable.

Also, it has become increasingly clear that the Apple/iOS emoji plugin that we have been using won't be compatible with NodeBB past version 4.0, and there is no indication that the developers who originally packaged up the Apple/iOS emoji plugin for NodeBB are around to update it. So we will have to revert back to NodeBB's older/default emoji plugin.

The emoticon set seems to be null. I don’t see any emoticons at all.

Is anyone else having the same issue?

Edit: I closed my browser and re-opened it and the old emoticon set has appeared.
