XF 2.1 Option to give status updates on closed forum

[duderuud]

Is there a way to give status updates on the maintenance page when the forum is closed?

Going to migrate the forum to another host and that will take a few hours...

One thing I've seen is posting a link to a forum Twitter account in the "Forum is closed" notice and then use that Twitter account to post brief progress updates.

Well yes, we could do that but that's a workaround at best...

There's a text box to enter a message:

Inactive board message
HERE
When the board is inactive / closed, this message will be shown to site visitors. You may use HTML.

You are completely right.
How stupid I didn't check the actual option before posting.

That is more then enough for me! Thanks for the heads-up!

@djbaxter was assuming you knew that and saying you could put a twitter link in that box, so you can tweet statuses instead of having to login to acp each time. FYI.

Yeah I get that (and appreciate that)
