    I think there will be no posting at all after the 20th, though threads may remain visible.  They may not, of course, leaving only the ability to message from your own page. 

    Agree, @rowlandscastle444, they do not appreciate what they are wrecking and what a fabulous resource will be lost.

    The notification states ‘no new posts’ from 20th March, not ‘no new threads’, so I assumed it meant that it would be ‘read only’ for the last week, apart from private messages.
    Sorry, didn't see you there, @Golarne.  Yes, I interpret it that way.

    Thanks all. We are interpreting/guessing as best we can, what they mean, i suppose!

    Such a coincidence that Google has recently revealed it is closing down its cache website service https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-retires-cached-site-links-pushing-users-towards-internet-archive/507128/ 

    I've written to Search Engine Journal who wrote the article for any possible advice. Casting nets I think it's called. They may be able to advise.

    @Golarne you will be right. I have to confess my head is all over the place. I need to read the announcement more carefully the next time I sign in.

    I’m on my iPad and the announcement is at the top every time I click on Discussions 😅

    The week is speeding past, I must remember to save the links to the archived threads that people have been doing!
