What happened?  Languish reborn, without her memory.  It's like waking up from a coma and not having the house and car that you remember.
Bottom line:  the old server HDD crashed, so the forum was switched to the "standby" forum, which has registration data but not the posts.  The forum came here instead.  Dunno how temp this is gonna be.  vM stated at one point that he thinks he can retrieve the posts from the old forum as an archive (ie read but not write), but the status of the "permanent new home" remains unclear.

Personally, I think we should do all the upgrades needed to the permanent forum before switching to it.  There isn't a clear consensus on what that form should be, though.

Btw - will the old ranks be reinstituted ?

The best thing about making threads on the old board was subtitles.  I want them back.

Well, I have server upload authority, but I don't have any emoticons to upload.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Yeah vM gave me the access and the emoticons, but according to SMF forums some base files need their permissions changed before it will let uploads of the old emoticons.

I sent him pm detailing it.
