Hi there

We will move MyBroadband’s servers to the new Hetzner data centre in Midrand tonight Friday 8 November, starting at 23:00.

We expect the site to be down for around 2 hours, during which a maintenance page will be displayed.

Both /vb and /news are working for me.

I didn't know about this until it happened very suddenly and the withdrawal symptoms kicked in, much the same with other scheduled downtime.

Please could these downtime announcement threads perhaps be accompanied by, or replaced with forum announcements?

Forum announcements are highly visible since they appear at the top of the Today`s Posts list and only disappear once they have been read.

Did not try all sections, but the ones I did try worked well.

Invalid thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

I still get this message occasionally when I click on links via TapaTalk.
I've came across this in all previous versions of TapaTalk (Paid and unpaid) and before the MyBB sever upgrades.
If I click on the link via a browser it seems to work fine, but not via the Tapatalk app.

This is one I picked up this morning:

Are all the links possibly "Article:..." threads?

And it's back to 3 again.

And then 2. OK 2 appears to be for this thread. Todays posts is 3. No 4.

Ever changing?
