hamster Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hi JackThere are still quite a few links (and my bookmarks) pointing to the old forums (like the forum link on http://gadgetforge.gadgetfactory.net/gf/project/butterfly_one/).It explains why I wasn't seeing many posts!

Dhia Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 We are working to make all those old links redirected to the new forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ok, all the links to the old forums should be redirected to the new forum now. Please let me know if you see problems.Thanks!Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neslekkim Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I guess all links should take you to the frontpage of the forums, right now, you get an 404, if you try eg: http://www.gadgetfactory.net/gadgetforum/?topic=384.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ok, thank you for that heads up. I tried to rename the gadgetforum directory to forumarchive so we could still get to it if needed, but that seems to have messed up the redirect. The link you posted is working now.Thanks,Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spygadget Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey where are you all no more discussion are here ,i want know more and discuss more about this topic....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Spygadget, We imported all of the content from the old forum into the new forum, so there is no content in the old forum that is needed. I am pretty sure that I setup a redirect from the old forum to the new forum, but an old link will not take you to the same link in the new forum. Do you have an example link? Jack.

spygadget Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hey jack its not possible,you can't take same link for your new redirect forum . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If I remember correctly I just setup a general purpose redirect, any link visited in the old forum takes you to forum.gadgetfactory.net. People can search for the article they were interested in the new forum, it does exist in the new forum, but obviously with a different link structure. Jack.
