Discussion

Sharper Iron will go offline Saturday evening 7/18/26 for upgrades.

The site is getting a visual design refresh, some new features, moving to version 11 of the Drupal platform, and also moving to an upgraded server instance.

The work could take a day or two. Most should be seeing the new site by Monday 7/20.

We’ll go offline around 9 PM Central 7/18.
