Hi,

I noticed since the forum software changed recently, the links to other threads don’t work. In fact they result in an error page. That’s a shame! Could you implement some redirection please….?

Thanks… smile

... for now.

It would be neat to see some kind of redirect implemented. The thing is, you don’t always get an error. Sometimes the link still works but points to a completely different thread. Have no idea though how hard this would be to implement. Were all the old thread IDs shifted by adding the same value (example: 12 -> 40012, 311 -> 40311)?

Kohana rocks!
