Well, Frans has continues to work on some stuff behind the scenes here, engineering some helpful changes. The seemingly tireless Man (again, with a capital "M") even continued to effort the problem of the few hundred forum posts that were appearing out of order and repaired those. I've taken to wearing a hat lately, just so I can occasionally tip it to him for his impressive efforts. Meanwhile, with the dust settling from the server move, the new box seems to crank along pretty nicely, offering significantly improved performance, so things seem to be working out well in the long run.
