Everybody's pre-migration messages have become garbled.
It appears during the conversion when the messages were copied to the new database, all HTML tags (those things with < and > around them) were changed to be non-functional. They have all been replaced with & l t ; and & g t ; (I added spaces) which ignored by browsers and display the < > characters and everything which was inside the tag, as text. IOW they are no longer HTML instructions.
I'm sure they are working on a fix, but it will probably involve parsing the entire archive to change them back to real tags. Not rocket science but I imagine it will take some time.
