Hi all,
Later this evening (EST) we will be upgrading the forum sofware to the most recent version of Xenforo. This update is long overdue, and will contain a number of bug fixes, new features, and improve mobile compatiblity. I'll be putting the forums into a "Read Only" mode so that no posts are lost during the upgrade process.
The other big news is we'll also be merging ElectronicsPoint with another network site, Maker.pro. We realized last year there is a lot of user interest overlap between the two communities, and we can give much better attention to improving content, features, etc with just one site (vs. managing both). We're really excited about the merge.
By tomorrow, ElectronicsPoint will be redirected over to Maker.pro. Your forum accounts will continue to work as-is, nothing will be required on your end to continue posting (besides logging in once again). The forum theme will be updated, however we will be providing a 'classic' forum theme (which you will be able to set in your Profile) if you'd like to revert back to a look more similar to the current EP theme.
Hoping everything goes smoothly (it's a big update with our team spending thousands of hours working on). As with any site (re)-launch, there may be issues we come across over the first week or so. If you notice any bugs, or have feedback, please let us know in this thread.
