Upcoming Migration

[pinkgothic]

If you can read this, you're connected to the migrated server, congrats!

There are some definite issues here that we'll need to address in the coming days.

For one, there will be random things that slow down to a crawl, because we have slightly fewer compute resources (more of pretty much all other resources, mind) and the old site code has some unfortunate choices here and there, not all of which we know off-hand. This is going to be pretty annoying. We apologise for that, we'll have to work our way through that by trial and error and hope we're not all asleep when it's first reported. (Edit: Discussion thread,)

For two, minor weird bugs exist in various places. One we know of is that the forum doesn't seem to know how to set forums as read - the threads are fine, but for some reason the forum marker stays unread. The code that's failing here is not giving us any errors to work with, so this might take a while to resolve. (Edit: Discussion thread.) (Resolved.)

If you find further bugs that seem obviously related to the migration, consider posting them into Support and Help for the moment (or even in this thread if you like), because threads you make in Bugs will not be visible to anyone else, so we'll probably get twenty reports of the same thing. Now that things are stable again, Bugs is the right place to post bugs again! Thank you to everyone reporting bugs, be it immediately after the migration or otherwise. :)

And thanks for your patience!
