Hey everyone, We’ll be taking a short break over Christmas and New Year. Everyone at Realmac HQ will be offline while we earn some proper downtime from **December 22nd** , we’ll be back at full speed on **January 5th**. Realmac HQ Closed: December 22, 2025→January 5, 2026 Support will be slower during the break, and in some cases you may not get a reply until we’re back in January. We’ll still try to dip into the forum where we can, but I just wanted to set expectations clearly. A huge thank you to everyone who has backed Elements this year. Your support, feedback, and encouragement has genuinely made a difference! We’ve got an exciting 2026 planned with plenty already in motion, and we’re looking forward to sharing what’s next when we’re back. If you thought Elements made good progress in 2025, then 2026 is going to absolutely blow your socks off 😆 Have a great break, and see you all in the new year 🍻 All the best, Dan ---
