Forum maintenance

[rhondajean]

How often should forum maintenance be carried out. Should the forum be turned off when doing maintenance?

[Zachery]

Never, unless someone tells you to.

[rhondajean]

And who should I expect to do the telling?

[Mark.B]

What do you mean by "maintenance"?

[rhondajean]

I mean running through the some of the maintenance programs listed under Maintenance in the left hand side bar of the CP.

[Zachery]

They're there to be used when you know you should use them. None of them are there for regular maintenance.

[rhondajean]

Thank you.

Only maintenance you need is server side. Create a backup of your database every few days to once a week. Even if your hosting provider creates nightly backups, database backups can be very helpful.
