I thought I found the nighthoover button.... turned out to be some pocket fluff, stuck on my phone's screen

sorry, one more thing I thought of (oh and - I've just seen the smilies at the side of the message box 
)
in the my-conversations list - can we have back the ability to unsub from convos without actually going into them?

I've made the migration now. I must admit I prefer the Ripley URL structure, but I'm probably one of very very few people who care about such niceties.

A lot of the old url structure still works, and even more wil eventually

About the idea of being "released into the wild," I wonder how wild Hootoo will turn out to be.

I hope we don't lose legacy page URLs. I often find published citations with links to h2g2 URLs.
Any danger that Pliny might recognise Ripley links like A12345678?

Like the one you just posted? It does

Weird - Ripley's not displaying those now.
Monday 23rd December 2013 - Announcing: Pliny The Younger Released Into The Wild
Pastey Posted Dec 30, 2013
The Ripley code hasn't been touched in over a year now
The A# you linked to though doesn't exist I think?
Monday 23rd December 2013 - Announcing: Pliny The Younger Released Into The Wild
Icy North Posted Dec 30, 2013
Ah, I'd thought it constructed the link whether it existed or not. 
How is Pliny for other Ripley links (F, C, etc)?

Pastey Posted Dec 30, 2013
It's getting there
The problem is, with the new system if *needs* the A# in the url, so when it's given a F/T link, it has to go off and find the A# of the forum first. Because, well, that's sensible

I'm not quite sure what Icy is asking.
But as he's here, Witty shared a piece the other day where h2g2 had been cited 5 times. Scroll down to the slide show.
