@Germanprof I've tried to edit the classical labels list on the database thread and got this message: "Body is 1206 characters too long."
- maybe it's a character limit that causes the problem with text missing on the other posts I have mentioned on the Classical N&N and labels thread. - It doesn't make any sense, though.
@Brighternow, if you want to manually enter bold text codes rather than use the buttons above the comment box, do it like before but change [ to < and ] to >
Thanks, I don't know if it is enough but I don't get the "body" message anymore.
- And it didn't bring back the "other labels" list.
I am just so thoroughly pissed of about what seems to be hours and hours of work wasted to provide what I thought was a useful tool for searching for music.
@Brighternow, eythian may be able to bring other things back when New Zeeland is awake again. I presume he backed everything up. I am limited to fiddling with things that have obvious settings buttons. Hopefully this is a teething phase and all will be restored.
@eythian, I presume you saved the graphics from the old board? For some reason the favicon is now displaying the AT&T logo for me in my browser tabs, which is disorienting (and not particularly evocative of friendly feelings).
Internal links: yeah, URL structure has changed, not sure that'll be fixable, but if a) the post ID numbers are the same and b) that's all I need to reference a post, then I can probably fix it. It'll take a bit of experimentation.
bold is totally possible, it's just using a subset of HTML rather than BBCode now. I think some of that came across in the conversion, but for whatever reason bold didn't.
annoyingly, there's no 'view' permission for the user's list, so I don't know how to make that available without also giving edit permissions. I'll have a play.
there was a time limit on editing by default, it appears to be gone now.
whispers should have come across, the migration tool claimed they did. Never fear, the old system still exists, so I can make it accessible in order to get that info out. I wonder if self-whispers didn't come across maybe. Talking to yourself, insanity, etc.
there were timezone issues, I think due to the old system storing things in server-local time and the new one using UTC like a saner thing. This will have caused strange issues for things that occurred in the 13-hour overlap period, including threads being out of order and new status behaving oddly. This should fix itself in time, at the expense of a few artifacts.
Now I hit page 2 I see @Germanprof has fixed many things. So ignore those things.
The old system still exists. I will look into making it available for extracting ill-migrated data from.
AT&T eh. That's pretty weird. I've put the old one back.
Today I'll have a prod at getting the old site back for read-only in order to allow missed data to be extracted. I see no reason for that not to be possible.
@eythian - Thank you very much for spending time with this.
I have at least with some success restored a post on the Classical N&N thread
These new codes are just so damned complicated compared to the old ones. I have tried to find out how to use color [color=indigo], size [size=12] and align [Align=center] - That was totally beyond me.
This might make colours a bit easier if you can't be bothered screwing around with codes.
alignment
should
also
be
easy.
Same with BIG and small. Don't let me catch you DOING THIS though.
Additionally, links to old style posts should sorta work. Unfortunately I couldn't make them link to the actual comment as they all seem to number differently now. However, it hopefully takes you to the right thread.

- Sorry, It had to come out.
OK, taking things in roughly order:

Don't post there, it won't last. But I'll keep it there for a while, perhaps a week or so.
may get ignored

Thank you !
Edit: Oh, that's easy. You just drop the link straight in.
