Great job Michael. I really want clam and sjoerdo to finish their mm90 blog on here. I can’t pester them with replies. Just likes. Can someone get clam back to update it, sjoerdo is still around in the shadows

Incredible! Truly a Herculean labour. 
Thank you so much! This is crucial work, @MichaelX . Invaluable.

I reordered the subcategories to be alphabetical. it looked too messy

I bumped two of the compilation threads, with links to all manner of stories, in the archive stories & background section. Now the compilation threads appear around the top, which makes it possible to just link people there and have them stumble upon the compilations first thing they see (Lack of this was why I linked to the old forum section yesterday).
Cheers

I noticed that the overly long first post here got trunctated. Shall I carry it over manually into the second post, or is there some ingenious data daemons fit for such a limited problem? After all the marvels I’ve seen you achieve, @MichaelX , I’m not treating anything technical as an impossibility until I’ve checked with you.
I’ll have to check later on for other trunctated compilation posts and the like. Patch up the few places where this may have happened. Is there some search function or website instrument that can help with finding them all?

I can easily find truncated messages. I hadn’t thought about making the rest a reply… that would have been smart!
I can make you a list tomorrow, with old forum post id’s and new forum post id’s.
I have no idea how many there are. .

I could recreate these posts with that logic implemented. Give me a few days to look into it!

There might have been some duplicates in the proces. But… thats better then the alternative if missing stuff.

Absolutely! Thank you most kindly Michael! This is most kind. You’re a rock.
As long as we don’t miss stuff, I will be able to reprocess choice pickings and put them up on the new forum proper eventually.
