Our XenForo hosting partners Audentio will be upgrading the forum software to XenForo version 2.3 (from 2.2) on October the 2nd.
Expect some downtime and general weirdness during that time.
This is a "minor" point version update that will have minimal visual impact, but a lot of code is changing behind the scenes. XenForo 2.3 lays the preparation for future improvements such as a new editor coming in 2.4 and new modern theme in 3.0, but in terms of things you may notice once we are on 2.3:
A number of initiatives are currently on hold while we have been waiting for the site to move to 2.3 (integrations between forum, store, and guides, memberships, sponsorship and marketplace improvements). We'll be focusing back on those once we are on the new code platform.
If you notice any bugs after the migration please post them in the XF2.3 bug reports thread.

- Search autocomplete as you type into the search tool (easier searching)
- Better integration with Google for search results (better search results)
- Passwordless login using Passkeys (not sure if I'll turn these on as the jury seems to be divided regarding their value)
- Payment system integrations improvements which will make it a lot easier to start and stop recurring memberships and make the experience consistent between all forms of payment the same (nicer experience, more help for diyAudio to stay afloat)
- Performance improvements (faster website)
- Native webhooks (better integration between the forum, store, and mailing lists and other systems)
