Planned downtime for Discourse discussion forum sites w/c 8th June 2020

If you do not have a Discourse discussion forum, you can ignore this message.

As part of our continual platform improvement, we will be migrating all Discourse based discussion forums to a new hosting provider. This migration process will result in some period where discussion forums will be read only. 

We currently plan to migrate all customer forum sites on the week commencing 8th June 2020. We are unable to provide a more accurate plan for individual sites. 

The migration to a new hosting service, will involve the suspension of the current site during which time it will be set to read only mode. A banner will indicate when the site is in read only mode, and this will be an indication that the migration has started for your forum. When the migration is complete, the forum will be restored to full read/write functionality, and the associated notification on the site will be removed. As part of this process, we will be ensuring that your discussion forum is upgraded to the latest release of Discourse. No changes are expected to any existing links that you or your users may have shared. 

This page will be updated when the migration is completed.
