New Forum Links Break Old Forum Links

[kev2me]

Just wanted to let you know the new link style you have is breaking all older links to the site and redirecting to the forums home page, making it incredibly frustrating when coming into the site from google search or any other external link.

For example, old link I found via google:
https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/f30/light-friendly-clear-mesh-screen-cover-29897.html


New link:
https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/li...7-light-friendly-clear-mesh-screen-cover.html (Highlight link to see the URL in the status bar since this forum changes links to the URL's page title when it's just a URL)

I would try to change your .htaccess file to try to save all those old links and redirect them to the new ones if I were you.

To add to that...

Going to the Forums page, I clicked on Reef Discussion and I can't enter it.

Working on the link issues.

Thank you for fixing that. I normally always go to Reef Discussion (old habits die hard), and couldn't.

Btw, I like how a linked article displays the title. That's really neat.
