Have checkpoints for questions stopped working? I don't seem to be able to add them anymore/at the moment.

Sorry, yes - when I migrated the editor database, I noticed that an enormous amount of space was taken up by storing old versions of items that were completely inaccessible to users, except for the tiny proportion that were linked to checkpoints. In order to make the migration possible I just omitted the versions tables, but I do need to come back to it soon and implement a new mechanism.

I've fixed the checkpoints feature. It was embarrassingly straightforward. Sorry, everyone!
