jibberish symbols
Ever since the move, I've noticed that a lot of messages have non-letter characters (like apostrophes and quotation marks) replaced with jibberish symbols (like like ’ and “).
My impression is that this situation was equally prevalent prior to the recent software upgrade. Quite a while ago, I commented on this somewhere, probably as some sort of side comment. My impression (and I think it's a quality impression) is that these odd symbols started showing up after the forums most recent move to a new server.
I know I've seen older messages of my own, that contain these odd symbols. I know they were not in the message when I initially posted it (unlike apparently some members, I do look at my messages after posting).
I wonder if, when the server change was made, some files got lost or corrupted? Or something like that.

Problems at the All Forums page
EvC Forum: Forum List
Everthing seems to be in order, except seeing "Forum Name Not Available" instead of the forum names, and also a lot of "Thread Name Not Available".

A linked ID's glitchlet
I was looking for this Message 27 of mine. It is my most recent message in that topic.
I originally posted it as Adminnemooseus, then edited the ID to Minnemooseus. It is NOT listed in the Minnemooseus index - It is listed in the Adminnemooseus index.
When I went to edit it a second time, it showed up for edit as being an Adminnemooseus message (Adminnemooseus avatar and the "Select Author ID's" were set to Adminnemooseus).

Are we going to be getting the individual topic index pages back?
I could check to see if this questions has come up before in this topic, but a topic index would be real useful to do such (assuming that there might have been a good subtitle used for the message).

Truncated subtitles
I just did a POTM nomination. Originally the subtitle had 'kind' (with the single quote marks). In preview at least, the subtitle was truncated at and excluding the first (').

Re: Test possible signature bug
And how about an off-topic button? Each member gets a personal off-topic meter and the member's message per period of time is automatically calculated to be the inverse of the off-topic rating.
Just kidding (or am I?)

Changing avatar problem
I've just changed my avatar back to the "Hiss" version, from the "Squeak" version.
Using the avatar "browse" button at the profile page allowed me to load the desired image, but no text appeared in the text box next to the button (or so I thought).
When I clicked the "Update Avatar" button, the avatar change was done, although it took a refresh to get the correct one to actually display. I then went back to try doing the change again, and discovered that the text in the text box was apparently white on a white background - I could only see it via highlighting it.

The filtering a topic for an individual member's messages is broken
I've tried this at several topics. Regardless of what member's messages I try to filter for, I get only the Minnemooseus messages. If Minnemooseus didn't post in the topic, there are no messages displayed.
This seems to be a very recently created glitch.

"Current session began" quirk/glitch
Right now my "Current session began" says 2:10 am. That was valid last night but I since had been away from the forum for 12+ hours - It should have reset to something along the lines of 6:00 pm.
An extremely trivial glitch, but still a glitch (if I'm not misusing the term "glitch").
Moose
Added by edit: I cleared my cookies and relogged in - Things are back to proper. Maybe just a log out/log in would have done the job. I guess there is a good chance that the glitch was totally caused at my end and not at the forum end. So it's pretty much a "Never mind" sort of thing.

Need a bigger list when doing a search
Not a bug, but can't find a better place to put this.
When you do a search with the board search utility, you get just one page of results, possibly with many of them being from the same topic. They are the most recent relevant messages.
How about having searches that go back further in time?
