My experience with this forum, in which I lurk more than post, has been mostly positive. Sure, folks can get snippy but this is the Internet. I agree strongly that a simple sticky as well as maybe an alert when signing up to look for it is in order. Best practices in reporting issues are not commonly known by so-called newbies. Many folks just don’t do forums much, if at all.
As an independent IT consultant, Senior Web lackey, you have my sympathies. I know precisely the sort of issues you run into with this sort of migration. That it’s gone as smoothly as it has is rather impressive to me. I’d make a car analogy but I’m not really qualified.
