This was indeed due to an <a name="..."> tag not being closed. It's not
visible on Firefox so I never noticed it, thanks for pointing it out.

Current status: new server has now been relocated to the data center and
now has its normal bandwidth available again.
I've mostly finished converting the main site PHP code to suit PHP7 and
mysqli, with most of the work being (as expected) in the user
registration, login, password recovery etc code. I've got this working
on a test site and once I've done inspecting a final diff of the code
I'll push it live.
When it does go live (hopefully tomorrow) I'd appreciate it if you'd
bang on it to flush out anything I've missed. I'll let you know when.

Sorry if this is mentioned already, but in Thunderbird I am sometimes
getting the wrong messages with the wrong thread titles. Maybe it's a
database issue?

The NNTP server doesn't use a database per se; it's a monolithic app
that stores the articles in its own format.
It's possible something has gone awry in its indexing of the articles.
I'll take a look and see if I can find a way to re-generate the XOVER files.

Since we're restoring from .SQL files MariaDB 10 should be fine. I could
possibly even install that on the server, though ideally I'd prefer to
use MySQL 5.7 for the wiki as that's what I'm using for everything else.
TBH it probably doesn't matter as long as you export your final setup
into SQL queries (like mysqldump does) as we could import them into
MySQL. My only concern about that would be that the mysql database
itself (user and privilege stuff) may not be compatible, so for those
you'd need to keep a copy of the queries you use to create those users
and permissions so we can re-run them on the final system.
If I were to install MariaDB on the server it would be version 10.5.8,
so if you want to stick with MariaDB then I'd suggest working with that
version.

I submitted an article to povray.binaries.images Thursday night, but I
am not seeing it. Thunderbird records it as having been sent.

I've told the server to re-generate its indexes and overview files; see
if that helps.
I can see a post from you called "Hooded lamp occlusion" in pbi now, so
if that's the one you are referring to, it's definitely there (though I
didn't check before re-generating the indexes, so I don't know if that
was the cause or not).
