Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

What is the word for...

...someone who holds the money for a bet by two other people. When the bet is complete they give the money to the winner. It's driving a few of us nuts in work trying to think what the correct term is.

Armani has it in one, although for some reason I always thought it was spelt with a 'K'

Thanks Armani

Escrow is what I was looking for. I couldn't think of the word or find it by googling and it was driving me nuts
