Pulled a copy of this forum and loading it now

keeping fingers crossed....

Hoping all those gremlins got squashed....

Yes, I asked for some enhancements too

Yes, they explained to me what the problem was that broke the formatting of the new forum and how they fixed it, so that should be behind us.

I also asked for a couple enhancements.

1. Add the post title to the new forum post as a top paragraph that's bolded. Since the new forum has no post titles, losing that title from posts on here can sometimes result in meaning being lost. For example ...

On this forum with a title:

On the Southern Pacific
they preferred to run fewer, longer trains. Knowing that, we can ...

On the new forum without a title:

they preferred to run fewer, longer trains. Knowing that, we can ...

In this real-life example from this forum, you totally lose the context by losing the title. On the new forum, they're adding the title to each post as the first paragraph and are making it bold. So it will look like this now:

On the Southern Pacific

they preferred to run fewer, longer trains. Knowing that, we can ...

That's much better, nothing gets lost this way.

2. Also, I noticed they lost the descriptive text that was part of hyperlinks, they just kept the hyperlink. That means all those blog indexes we created became a bunch of hypertext gibberish. I asked that if the hyperlink descriptive text was not just http or https that they preserve the descriptive text. That means my blog index ...

Before keeping the hyperlink descriptive text my blog index looks like this (but with new forum links):

• https://forum.mrhmag.com/posts/36826
   
• https://forum.mrhmag.com/posts/36580
   
• https://forum.mrhmag.com/posts/33922

But now it will look like this on the new forum:

• Dismantling and rebuilding ebb and flow (Siskiyou Line 1 teardown, TOMA build)

• Distractions from the hobby

• Adding the second Siskiyou Line 2 module -- KC here we come!

The way it looks with the descriptive text maintained is how it will now look -- much better!
