The provisional 2021 F1 calendar has been released and currently the British GP is the weekend after Legends.
With all the complaining about them probably being the same weekend, I note that Legends next is still planned to be two days as usual. What's the problem with Saturday, the GP's on Sunday? I know there would be more than normal traffic for practice and qualifying but nowhere near as much as on Sunday.

There's several off-the-shelf packages available that seamlessly run forums on desktop and mobile - Pprune runs on one.
The big mistake Key made was to try and write their own, presumably to save a few bob in licence fees.
I'm quite sure that sving has been long superseded by loss of income...

There was a lot of useful info on Flypast, an experience I always thought spoilt by some over zealous moderators...

It seems it was probably nothing to do with saving money and more to get an integrated (awful) website.
According to a post I've found on the Secret Projects forum, Key migrated their whole site to Drupal which is apparently a content management system and not designed for forums. As somebody posted there - one of those things that sounded like a good idea,

It’s going to Sywell, only fly in that ointment is it’s close to Silverstone and normally on the same weekend.

It is not the same weekend as the Silverstone F1 race - if you read back a couple of posts you will see that the FIA announced the F1 calendar for 2021 yesterday, with the British GP moved back one weekend from normal, i.e. now on 16th - 18th July.
