Not sure why. Maybe, gods forbid, the virus has had some effect on the BDO admin team and they’ve had to suspend the service. If you need assistance with something maybe you could post it here and we can try and work it out as a team? I’m currently studying the bardic course too.
Oh well, I posted my book review here (The Voice Within the Wind). If and when the Bardic Support Forum opens again, I’ll see about copying it over to the Bookshelf thread.
