We’ve got forum server maintenance planned for tomorrow morning, Monday, May 11, 2015. Our planned maintenance time is between 6-10 AM PST.
During those hours the forums may be inaccessible or you may experience slower than normal server performance. Thanks very much in advance for your understanding while we work on improving the functionality of the forums!
“Forum Server Maintenance” is disingenuous at best.
From the aborted attempt last week it’s a complete rewrite, replacing something clean and proven with something full of space-eating graphics that is unreadable on mobile devices. With a removal of the rating system as a side-effect.

This is a perfect example of web design failing miserably.
It’s like playing a bad port of a console game on PC with the huge buttons and kiddy look. The change instantly reminded me the time I tried for the first time Windows 8. I switched back to Windows 7 the next day and I’m staying with them until they stop supporting them.
