UPDATE: the upgrade was completed faster than expected and as of Saturday 7am everything should be working!
At 6.45pm on Friday, our online admin system is being upgraded.
We're hoping to avoid any Natwest-style disasters, but you will notice that during this time, we won't be posting any new stories and you won't be able to comment on anything on the site.
You won't notice any drastic changes to the site after the upgrade, although there are a couple of new features we're very excited to get our hands on when the new system goes live in a couple of weeks.
Normal service should be resumed by Saturday afternoon, but in the meantime, don't miss the weekend edition of the Echo, featuring the chance to win £24,000 in Spot the Ball and a £300 cash competition.
And if you're still looking for something to read, how about one of these?
