And we're back! (I hope)
I've migrated the forum to a new server, and upgraded the software to the latest vanilla version.
Things will be slower as requests are now going the US, being proxied to NZ, and then the reply is sent back along the same path. This will change when xtrev updates the DNS at his end.
If you have any issues, let me know. I'll try to keep my eye on things for the next little while, or you can email me: robin@kallisti.net.nz.
Now to go do some polish on the new site.

Thanks so much for spending all that time on this shiny new look!
Have also noticed internal links are broken, but this is just caused by the proxy so should sort itself out.
Cool, a link button!
And a picture button!
A note to admin types, the permissions and roles and how they apply to categories and such have reset to something like default. You may want to have a look at them and see if they need tweaking. I think as it is now, everyone logged in can do all the normal things, though people will be in the 'noobs' role until they verify their email. It's unclear to me what they move to after that, or where that's controlled, but I may have just missed it. Hopefully something sensible.
This said, the registration form now implements recaptcha, so hopefully that's sufficient to keep spambots at bay. If not, the noob category can be tightened up.

- The ones I have checked are broken.
The bold [b] code is not working and I can't find the members list.
You can now see a list of the discussions you started and posts.
That is a major improvement !
Nice work, Thank you !
Am I missing something ?
Just checking:[b]Bold[/b] - [b][i]Bold and i[/i][/b]
- Hmmm ?
- Oh ! - found the edit.
ETA: It's not possible to edit old posts, is there a time limit ?
I can't edit my label and linernotes thread.

The whisper function has gone and all previous whispers too.
I had a thread whispered to myself with a hell of a lot of informations and drafts to new posts. - this is a disaster.
http://www.emusers.org/emusers.net/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/1102/a-beginner-s-guide-to-emusers/p1
Most of my list of "Some threads of possible interest" has vanished.
That is not good !
- And with the edit time limit, I can't fix them
Craig
- however, all links and drafts from my latest post is not there.
:-(
- And the text on the first post on the newest page on the classical N&N is not there either.

I got used to a certain way of handling
pictures, but I can easily adapt to the new.
Hope it's easier for all.
One of them when I looked did not in fact have any new posts since I looked earlier.
More worrying, though, some of the other threads show a time stamp for their last post that is since the last time I looked (And yes, they do have new posts when I check) but show no visible indication of having a new post in their title in the thread list - no bold text, no yellow icon.
Plus, one of the two when I opened it took me to the latest post. The other one took me to the top of the thread. I have seen this variance twice but not identified a pattern yet.
One thread gave me a notification through that little globe icon top left saying that Katrina had posted and indeed had a new post, but the thread in the thread list was not bold and had no yellow icon. Only this one thread has notified me in this way, though others have new posts. *ETA, I now deduce that this was because it was a thread that I started, listed in My Discussions. OK, I get that now.
Also, I just closed the virtual keyboard and temporarily left edit mode and when I returned to edit the text before posting it had lost the last sentence I wrote. The new board is more sensitive than the old to e.g. switching tabs mid-edit and going back and having your draft still be there. Not a big deal - I am more worried about not being able to see at a glance which threads have new posts. Is that a theme matter?
ETA, it seems to be working better now, at least one regular thread just gave me a yellow thingy.
Edit does seem to have a time limit of one hour. If this can't be changed it will prevent us from doing some things we were doing before with editable lists.
But editing whispers and on my thread whispered to my self is not possible.
