      How long?
      Hopefully an hour, no more than 2 hours

      Why?
      Backups are getting out of date and we have installed any software updates for a few months

      What is changing?
      Probably very little. Looks like the software updates are bug fixes and a lot of backend changes

      There is a major UI update coming in the next couple of months, the backend changes seem to be in preparation for that. Nodebb will look a bit more like Discourse or Flarum from what I've seen.. not much change for phone users but an improvement for tablet & computer users

          There's a few minor issues (it's been a long time since the last update)

          There may be some small ~5sec outages as I fix those

            Did you manage to wipe the Foster thread?

                        Like the new symbol which makes it clearer you've upvoted something.

                        Both times I've gone to open my notifications bar, it's defaulted to the status tab and I then have to go to tap on the notifications tab. Make sense?

                        Edit, scratch that, just tried again and it's ok.

                          Full page chat view has a few issues. Plus some buttons are the wrong colour in dark mode

                          Will get around to fixing this stuff eventually

                            Stuff articles still don't embed. Or is that caused by something on the Stuff website?

                                They used to, then they stopped with no changes at this end.

                                    I was wondering if it was to do with the i-stuff Vs stuff URL?

                                    https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/300812464/no-rates-reprieve-for-auckland-residents-whose-houses-are-red-stickered

                                    Edit, seems not.

                                        Another thing: on the "Categories" page, under "Provinces", the four South Island provinces have disappeared.

                                            More difficult to fix this. I've turned off that area for now

                                              It's back. You will need to refresh to see it

                                                  Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

                                                  I often use chrome on an ipad and just tested with safari and it seems fine. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

                                                      I'll give it a try. It is only on the very old ipad mini that I use as bedtime reading. Could be that I am past available Safari versions that this is now optimised for.
