The Reader technical staff has told us this board will be down for a couple of hours tomorrow morning (Thursday, August 5) for scheduled maintenance.

If you sign on while the board is not operational, you should get a message saying it’s being worked on.

We’ll be back up and working as soon as possible.

They assure us it won’t take more than a couple of hours.

Thanks.
