Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
@HangryMachinist let me know if you do. I've still got measurements and additional photos to help out if you need it. Overall it wasn't too hard and its probably the best modification I've done yet.
