Could we lose the extra "forum" sub-directory?

[mmadsen]

I've noticed that all the URLs for the forums follow the same pattern as before, but with an additional "forum" sub-directory. Can we lose the extra sub-directory, so that the new URLs match the old?

Yup. If not, all of the links people have made over the (6 or 7?) years in their sigs and offsite directing people to specific threads become obsolete.

I wouldn't say they are obsolete, they just need /forum added in to the URL. I know some people have fifty or sixty threads as links, but that's just part of the price that comes with doing that. At least it's a relatively simple insertion, and not a completely new URL.

No.

Reason - I don't want vbulletin code mixed with PAM code and pages.

Is there any way we can fake it with some kind of redirect, Mike?

 

[Michael Morris]

Yes, I can silently redirect. I'll set something up tomorrow.

Super!

FYI, links created via the [ post ] and [ thread ] tags ported over without issues.

Anyway I'm more happy about the silent redirect than the system will allow me to be.

We may not be talking about the same thing. The additional "/forum" folder in the current configuration of the boards was causing old links to specific threads and posts without the "/forum" folder to not function as intended.
