Question URLs no longer working (Are redirects coming)

[KnuckleDownKnives]

Sorry if this has been asked I don't remember seeing a question regarding this. Are there going to be redirects in place to forum posts? I spend a lot of time in Bladesmith Shop talk and 99% of the links in the how to stickies are currently dead.

If not, I was going to try and spend some time locating the posts the links would have gone to and help the MODS over there get them linked back up. They may need to be rebuilt. I have free time at work here and there, so just trying to help out if I can.

Goolged my way to a 2008 thread about maker Andy Mills, but clicking om link got this message:

HTTP ERROR 500

Just FYI

I just posted asking about this, so you may keep an eye on my thread as well. Hopefully they'll be able to sort out redirects or something. I'm sure googling anything is likely not going to work very well at this point when it links back to BF since the URL structure is different.

Do you have a link to that thread

None of the threads in the ShopTalk stickys will work, either.

Just noticed that none of my bookmarks from the old forum work. I have tons.

I'm working on redirect scripts

The Warrior - are your bookmarks automatically redirecting you to the right spots now?

I looks like "most" of them are working now. The ones that contain the title in the URL.

The one that don't have the title in the URL, just "showthread" and the thread # are not. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=694673

Just an FYI

Thanks Spark!!!

Many links to photo attachments not working on photos I have stored on BFC. I don't see where I can access those attachments?

Thx,
Will

Working on it, probably going to have to install another add-on to restore this functionality

 

[Will York]

Okay--thanks, Kevin.

Yes they are. Thanks!
