Forum will be down for a bit - upgrades
-
Forum will be down for about 10 minutes or so. Hopefully not longer. Around 19:40 PDT (imminent)

Upgrades done.
- [routine] Forum is migrated from 4.10 to 4.15
- [major] The MongoDB database backing the forums was swapped out, migrated to a Postgres database
Earlier today I did a server restart and the forums crashed and stayed down. Mongo is not compatible with the latest OS (kernel) patch. Postgres is a very boring database, boring is good, it's solid and wont' flake out so easily due to OS intricacies. For that reason I migrated.
On postgres, it'll be easier to clean up orphaned image files, helping us out with disk space.

Still doing a couple settings tweaks, I'm expecting a couple server restarts in the next 30 minutes. Should be pretty brief, one or two minutes.

things are looking quite different.

@beelee That's CSS failing to load. A 'hard' refresh should work. Usually that shift or control held down while refresh
-
@beelee let me know if it doesn't come back looking right

-
Two important configs landed.
- new users will be required to confirm an email address
- some good anti-spam stuff. We should see drastically fewer spam registration requests.

I been seeing the spinning circle a bit more frequently ever since the Big June update.
I know the other site gets hammered pretty hard sometimes. I think Djensen got some counters but sometimes they still get through.
