Fix links to old forum
« on: March 31, 2012, 11:03:42 pm »
Normally, I've found a lot of stuff on SFML's forums through google. However, since the forum moved, all the links from Google are invalid and result in this page.

Is there any way to make these links to old threads redirect to their current location?

I'm not sure how easy it is to realize.
If one would do so, the right redirection is needed otherwise google will still point to the old locations. It should be a HTTP 301 (permanently moved) redirection so google can understand that he has to index the new links.
In the mean time there's the advanced search http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?action=search;advanced;search= and for google we just have to wait a few days more until the bots have indexed everything.

Thank you... there has been stuff that I have googled, and I click on it, and it takes me to the old forums where it gives a link to the home page of the new forums!
