Because I’m a little obsessive about thoroughness, I spent the day (yes, the whole day) figuring out how to get all the old forum users and posts into the new forum. The good news is, it worked! Now all the old support issues and announcements are there for all to see.
If you had an old forum account, and you ever posted, you have an account here on this blog now. However, you don’t have a password. So what you need to do is hit “Login” (either on the sidebar, or on the forum page) and it will take you to the login page. Hit “Forgot password” and it will send you an email with a link — follow that link, and you’ll get a second email with a temporary password. Use that password to log in, then change it in the Profile page.
Since I did this conversion myself, I expect some things may be a bit wonky. Let me know if you have any issues. Private Messaging works, or if not, email bhawkins AT monkeylaw DOT org.
Old forum posts are back!
