I have done a little bug fixing lately, including making stripShow work with posts marked “private” — [...]

Old forum posts are back!

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 [...]
