For several days in a row, now, I have seen no new posts on this Discourse forum. I’ve been following it daily for most of the last few years, and can’t recall a similar period during that time. Others have mentioned this to me, as well. Is something (not) up with the forum? If this post goes through, I guess I’ll have my answer and we’re just in an oddly slow period; otherwise, might need to ping @bep and @jmooring on GitHub to see what they might say on the subject.
If this turns out to be a false alarm, I offer my apologies in advance for that.
Yes, that was what others told me, as well, but I didn’t see that at the time. In fact, it was when they told me this that I began noticing the lack of new posts in the Discourse.
It was closed for about 4-6 hours for me. Long enough to where I was sure we’d have a status update or something. But I haven’t circled back until now.
Depending on where and how it’s hosted this might help: https://status.discourse.org/ - There was an outage around the time I too saw the readonly mode banner.
Yep, this in particular makes sense, referring to June 3–6:
We will be performing rolling reboots for urgent maintenance over the next 3 days. Some sites may experience a brief period of readonly lasting less than 15 minutes.
