LDraw.org Downtime and Forum Transistion - Orion Pobursky - 2026-06-10
In the next few weeks, LDraw.org may experience some extended downtime while I update the server infrastructure. It should last, at most, a few hours. Since I'm not sure exactly when I'll be ready to start, I'm posting this now to make everyone aware.
Additionally, some changes to the way the Library and Forums will interact are happening. The Library will be transitioned to it's own login system and be complete separated from the forums. This will require all existing Parts Authors or Reviewers to request a password reset from the Library. Before this happens, I will update the Library will the email addresses with the ones on file here on the forums. If you're a Parts Author or Reviewer, make sure your email is up to date.
Lastly, we will moving the forum software from myBB to Discourse. This is a more modern, more capable forum platform. This is the same software that Rebrickable uses for it's forums and is more actively developed than myBB.
Again, I still have testing to do on the changes to the Library and the timeline on when the above will happen isn't firm yet. Best guess is since the 2026-06 release is in 2.5 weeks, I will likely delay until after that happens.
