Whenever I have to close the forum for some maintenance activities, I find it annoying that I cannot enter the forum myself <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I'd like to check my actions by running the forum software. Now I gotta open the forum for a while to do so, and other people might encounter the forum when it is not working.

Is there a work around, a hack, or some other solution ?

Thanks a lot
