Our tech group pulled everything that had been posted as of about 5 AM this morning. Anything post that might be in limbo.
IP address fun is being worked on.
Unfortunately yes you need to re-mute users. Plus side: it should also mute threads they start.
For those talking ads, you’ll note there aren’t any at the moment. Future state. But let’s not pretend this was money motivated, because we’d have a thousand ads up already if it were.
That’s what I’m thinking.
Wasn’t the old site white background as well ?
I found the user mute. I will say adding in duration options is a cool feature if you want to block someone temporarily.
Profile → Preferences → Users
We fixed it!
Lavender lives.
PS: if you enable dark mode it makes the site a more familiar gray…but darker.
You earned my very first ST Forum “like”.
I am now selling “Make ST Forums Great Again” hats and “We’re Not Going Back” (with round ST logo thingy) t-shirts at imnotactuallydoingthat(dot)com
For the love of God don’t give Eric any ideas.
Do like it has a like button though and at least we didnt lose everything like last time
THIS IS AMAZING!!! Thank you for moving the forum over to something that functions like a modern website.
I don’t think that’s quite right because I was in a few threads yesterday and those recent posts are all gone.
I tried to find the threads again but it looks like all google result links and links from emails are now broken.
The data exists, the tech team is working to restore it.
I don’t know whether the old email notifications will work. The redirect map was…uh…massive.
If you are tying to find old threads, posts, or info, try the mobile version of the old forum on your phone. For now, that info is all accessible there, to the best of my knowledge. Not sure for how much longer,
Gotcha, thanks. Probably not a huge deal if email links no longer work but you may want the google links fixed to avoid the SEO hit 
Perhaps you already know this one too but while I am adding reports it looks like there was some character encoding issues with your DB move over, for e.g. Taupō shows as TaupÅ in old posts.
I’m gonna doubt we get to the character thing…but we the redirect map is on, it’s just for the “main” thread URLs versus the 87 additional permutations of that same thread (Gossamer was…weird for that stuff).
We’ll get there.
How do we know who you replied to?
And then it changed colors again 
Top right of each post shows a “return arrow” pointing to the users icon.
Unfortunately it just seems like it points to an icon and doesn’t show their name. Might make it a challenge as we would have to memorize each user’s icon? Or am I misinterpreting this?
In the old forum we could select to have topics , when opened jump straight to first unread message. Can we do that here? Any thread I open opens to the first message, causing me to scroll, endlessly if it’s an old thread.
Yes, I am sure that will be implemented. That is how it works on every other forum I’m on that uses this architecture.
For some reason my old posts now say “Former_User”.
Dan’s trying to tell me something.
