Im a administrator on a forum I speak with the owner a lot but recently he hasn’t been responding to discord or forum messages so quickly our forum became out of date I couldnt update discourse version for somereason it was grayed out I think he did something with it so we became outdated to the poi…

If he won’t upgrade it then you just use the old version and hope for the best. There’s nothing you can do (other than hack the server?) The nuclear option would be to download the database and restore it on another domain that you control.

Any ideas on how I can possible get the forum back up-to-date or get the owner online again?

True if after a while he still isn’t back I may actually just Give up all hope lmao. One thing I wanted to know is can discourse team update a forum for you?

Ah makes sense well I guess I may just email them again and hope for the best
