I recall recently, like a couple of weeks ago (?) that the site was down for a spell to shift to another server and while that was happening there was some history that hadn't yet been migrated. I wonder if that process is still going on or if there was a finite amount moved (say one year or whatever) and older stuff was not.
If I try to look up an older thread that I know exists I can find the thread via Google but it displays the thread without my account being online. If I try to sign in on that page, nothing happens, it doesn't sign in. All the pages of the long thread are there intact, it just won't sign me in. Am I seeing the old server when I do that?
Or is there some other reason I wouldn't be signed in on a thread I navigated to from outside the site?
One example is here. Again if I post this link it does go to the thread, but won't sign me in for it.
(Note this thread doesn't show up searching on the site's search box, but then hardly anything ever does)
