    It looks like you can create a list as you type

    • by
    • leading
    • each
    • line

    with an asterisk and a space.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      A complication would be that you need to know how to "type" a CR into your search/replace dialogue. That's a hard task for old farts some.

          The reason I ask is that in the "retraction" thread, there are 62 items listed, and it would be nice to separate them with bullets, or perhaps number. Adding an asterisk at each item is a PITA.

            Paste it into a text editor. Do find and replace for \n or \r and replace with \n* or \r*

                @klaus thanks!

                Did you run that through an editor, or is is a change in the way the forum works?

                ETA: Through a text editor, I see. Which one would you recommend?

                      @george-k press Option-Return to search for or replace carriage returns.

                      https://macromates.com/textmate/manual/searching

                      If you wish to search for tab or newline characters then you can press option-tab or option-return to insert these in the search or replace fields. The fields will automatically grow with their content.

                          \n would work in regular expression search mode, which is a whole new universe of searching. You’ll find that you’ll like this kind of thing, if this is the kind of thing you like. But for now it’s presumably best ignored.

                            I get errors a lot (last week or two) when trying to post a reply, usually on my iPhone. Weird, could just be me.

                              @89th nope me also. Also on a iPhone. Never a problem on the desktop.

                              Also logs me off the forum quite often.

                              I thought it was maybe because the location I was from or using a VPN.

                                I'm considering to upgrade our server. We've had a few issues with RAM; occasionally, the database we use had to be restarted because it ran out of memory. It turns out that with the newest generation of vservers at our provider, an upgrade to 8GB instead of 4GB RAM is only 70 cents a month. The migration will have to be manual, though - according to the provider, an automatic migration isn't possible because it's a different hardware generation.

                                  @klaus sounds good to me. I'll be happy to cover the added expenses, of course. Put it on my tab.

                                  How long will this migration take?

                                    Don't worry about the expenses. I can take care of 70 cents a month myself 🙂

                                    When I have time in the next days, I'll buy the new vserver and start installing stuff. For a while, both servers will run concurrently, so there needs to be a time when an official "switch" happens. I'm not a professional administrator and am not doing this with any regularity, hence I can't predict how much work this will be, but the server management tools we use seem to make this job relatively easy (shoutout to Cloudron!).

                                      I'll update to NodeBB 17.0 soon. I don't expect any major problems or longer outages.
