Quite a few updates/changes have happened web-side, so it was worthy of its own update post!
The website has seen a significant upgrade, Xenforo has released a very nice feature update, I will share the highlights (along with some changes I have made):
- Fixed intermittent 52X Cloudflare errors
- Improved page speed loading in certain scenarios
- Improved web security (TLS 1.2+ enforced)
- DB server stability issues around the 18th have been resolved - our host has identified the issue and dealt with it accordingly. I have been looking into high-availability options to mitigate possible downtime in the future, although there is not a 'one solution fits all' answer for us.
- Improved backup-time performance
