Having problems staying connected to the site, including posting responses. It keeps saying something about the “vanilla forum”. Not knowing this technology, I don’t understand the message.

Vanilla Forums maintenance;

**Scheduled - Starting at 2PM Eastern Time on May 14th, Vanilla’s hosting environment will be in a maintenance window for 6 hours. During this time, all nodes in the environment will be rebooted at least once and as a result there will be some instance downtime which will impact customer forums. We expect the actual outage period to last for approximately 45 minutes.**

Car Talk Forums have been a little more balky than usual for me here in San Jose ( been logged in May 14 from 6 pm to 8:30 pm Eastern) but overall not much trouble.
