Changing forum URL?
« on: December 06, 2006, 04:18:24 PM »
Am I going to freak everyone out if I change the forum URL from ehell.com/smf  back to ehell.com/forum ? 

I'd really like to get back to that URL because I'm worried some people have bookmarked the old one and now think they have been banned.

It's only been /smf for a few days right?  I still go to the old URL and then forward myself from there, so I would love if you moved it back to the old one.

Count 1 for Please move it back :)

It looks like I cannot do this.  I tried about 30 minutes ago and completely screwed up the forum.  I was able to figure out how to undo the mess but that was pretty scary.  I had miserable visions of having to reload the software and themes again.

First of all, I just want to say that you are awesome for doing all of this. Second, when I wasn't able to get onto the forum for a day or so, I just went to the E-hell homepage and found the link (and explanations) on there. You made it very simple to find the new forum!  8) (Even for a usual-lurker like me...)

It all seems to be working now.  Thanks, Miss Jeanne!  I don't know what you did...but it worked!  LOL

I'm afraid the link from the EHell site isn't working properly.  It's taking me to www.ehell.com - which is not the right spot.

It appears that if you use the bookmark for the old forum, you'll get to that start page.  But once you click on the "Discussion Forum" link, it brings you right here.

Cool beans!

I vote for changing it back to the other URL if possible. I did have it bookmarked and was unable to find the new forum until I went through the link on the eHell site.

Is there any way to post a page at the old URL that redirects someone to this forum? Or at least gives a link to it?

I've been trying this morning but I use Front Page and if I'm correct, the URL for the old forum was www.etiquettehell.com/forum/index.php?     I can't do php extensions in Front Page.  Does anyone have the actual url bookmarked?

I'm getting worried because some regulars like Scritzy seem to not have made it over.  I'll email Scritzy but I don't have emails for others.

I just went to my bookmark, and it now redirects the user here.

Gee, I never thought to go to the ehell site to get the new link!
