Elektron-Users' Forum content is missing

Hmm, all the posts have gone from the old EU forum, I went on there to check something, anyone know why/when that happened?

I could try to reach out and see if someone knows.

Hope it’s not another “feature” of 2020.

Weird, you can still click the last post, but all the forums are empty when you open them.

I would highlight this issue in a new topic and flag as many people from Elektron as you can. No idea who is responsible for maintaining E-U anymore, but losing that resource is not in anyone’s interest, including Elektron’s.

We can neither confirm nor deny that is breaking the official secrets act, nor whether the official secrets act even exists.

This is disturbing. We are hosting it but haven’t touched it for a long time. Also it seems on the listing is broken. The posts can be found if you have the right url to them. Will look in to it.

using a search engine, the messages do show up, which is what i did but didn’t check if it was also working on the forum itself. they are not visible using the forum though; clicking on the last post of the threads

will take you to thread. all the other messages are still there too … :thinking:

Still not working. Seems awful to let such an amazing resource go, even if it gave me emotional vertigo to visit.
