URL of Archived Boards Breaks Links


Recommended Posts

Howdy,

First of all. . . these new boards rock. They rock so much that it seems a shame that we have to taint their coolness by allowing the old boards to exist at all. :)

That being said, however. . .

Any link on the old boards that points to any other post on the old boards is now broken. They are absolute links. . . so they didn't survive the change in the old board's URL.

Because the new boards are located at root/mwf/, can't the archive/old boards be moved back to their original location? (root/cgi-bin/)

I mentioned this before any of the moving was done. But I'm sure you guys are overwhelmed by feedback and problems. :)

I wonder if perhaps a "virtual directory"-type pointer might also be used to fix the problem.

Or, hell, just tear down the old stuff. I used to think they'd be cool to have. . . but now I'm not so sure. The old stuff sorta detracts from the coolness of the new. IMHO. :blink:

Thanks!
