Server Move Progress
Won't be complete today, but I was able to sneakily fix a corrupted index while the server was running, so I don't need to worry about that during the move.
I also have a new editor I'm trying out that actually generates and displays BBCode directly, rather than the messy mix of BBCode and HTML we use right now. While BBCode is dated it does solve real problems when you're running a multi-blog environment like this.

Update: And the damn server crashed again. Ugh.
Update: Here's what the new editor looks like, after a couple of minutes tweaking the theme settings.

It supports complete customisation of the BBCode, so all the fancy tags no-one uses because they don't know about them can be buttons in the editor.

Yeah, I've never been able to figure out how this system does it anyway. Sometimes it inherits italics or bold when you try to cut & paste (which I assume is the browser trying to be "smart") and sometimes it just gives me the sfleebs. And I don't really think of bbcode as obsolete. It's dumb, it's simple, and it works. (so does HTML to some extent, but they keep adding stuff)

You are right about the browser trying to be smart, normal. You can stop that, if you want, by pasting into Notepad or something dumb, and then cutting the text you just pasted. Or in Edge (and probably Chrome), you can right-click and choose "Paste as plain text", which is pretty nice.
Also, doing a double-check on the "eat one newline" thing.

It's still eating them. I'll test that with the new editor.
