I noticed this morning that I was missing all the anonymous comments in the entire history of FOB. Not a good thing. I screwed around with it for a while, and then did what any sensible person does in 2014: asked Google to show me things on the Internet. Victory!. I don't seem to be able to comment on Ryan's blog, so I'm thanking him publicly and very gratefully here. It took me about 20 minutes of screwing around with MySQL on the old and new databases, but it seems to be OK now.
Whew.
If you see other FOB bugs on the new host, please let me know. (B)
