Major Discourse upgrade

Hi everybody.

After spending a few years in the hiding I’m back to this forum in some capacity. For the past year I’ve been diligently upgrading our whole cloud infrastructure and last weekend I (finally) got to upgrade our forum (Discourse) instance from a beta version of yore to the current beautiful 2026.05.0 version.

I have to say those guys behind Discouse are some serious software engineers. The whole migration was a breeze with no problems whatsoever.

I hope the user experience will match but do let me know if you have any issues with it.

Enjoy!!

I hope to get things more up to speed from now on. Multi-year upgrades all at once are not part of the plan anymore.

Ha! I thought I noticed some visual differences, but chalked it up to my aging brain. Thanks for keeping things chugging along in the background!

I like it, it blends a handy website like information architecture with the flexibility of a discourse community.
Thanks!
