My favorite part is the people (like dark_jedi) who are threatening to leave because of it. Good-bye, sayeth I!
Ha! Where’s that happening?

Tsk tsk. Now I know why he calls himself dark_jedi; he was too impatient to follow the light side.
Since the forum migration has come and gone, shouldn’t this thread be locked?
Nobody sang The Bunny Song in years…
Nah, we’re having too much fun with it.
You have my permission to lock this thread, but first:
I didn’t get a chance to comment in the ‘bugs report’ topic before it got locked after 6 pages, due to having trouble with re-registering, so just wanted to say it’s good to be back, before this thread is locked down too.
Sad story time - I knew this server migration was imminent, as it had long been flagged up by Jay…but I kept having one family drama, work crisis, etc. getting in the way of me finding some time to try and capture all my hundreds(!) of various saved ‘bookmarks’ which I’d stored for various reasons to refer back to. And also my many saved ‘drafts’ that I was still currently finalising for various topics.
So anyway…I finally got a chance to sit down to spend a while doing this…when the site suddenly went ‘offline’ at that particular moment!!.. I’m gutted. Aaargh!
So I’ve lost the lot, and can just console myself that at least my PMs are still viewable after the migration.
Then on top of this, I didn’t realise that the reason that I wasn’t getting sent a ‘reset password’ e-mail…was because it kept getting sent to my hotmail ‘Junk Email’ folder instead of my ‘Inbox’ folder. And until doubleofive/Jay let me know that was the likely case, I couldn’t log on…as I never check that particular folder! D’oh.
I rarely check in using a mobile, so the current layout is taking a little getting used to on my laptop. But at the end of the day, I appreciate that the previous server problems were getting out of hand, and things should stabalise for us now. l also appreciate that all of Jay’s efforts are done out of his own pocket, so many thanks are in order for this resource.
Happy Halloween to all.
Strangely enough, I find I have gotten used to the way the forum looks on my PC quite quickly. On my phone it’s a bit more of a chore, but I’ll share that in a more appropriate place.

The data still exists. After I build the interface for topic subscription management, I’ll probably build something for bookmarks. Draft post functionality will return at some point also, but if you were planning on posting any of that content soon, probably not soon enough.

I’m still open to tweaking the layout on larger phones (I seem to remember you describing yours as being a larger model). I test on an iPhone 6 and Nexus 4, but haven’t seen it on anything larger. I run simulators on my computer, but that’s not the same as holding a phone in your hand. If you could include your phone model and some screenshots on Github when you create the issue, that would help me replicate it.

It’s not an issue per se, it’s just that I use my phone in landscape mode a lot and you have to scroll a ton when doing so. It’s not nearly as bad in portrait.
I’m on a Galaxy S6 FWIW.
Good to know that ‘bookmarks’ and ‘draft posts’ functionality will return at some point Jay, as they were two of the most vital benefits to me around here, I found.
