forum issues?

[Moorea]

Supernova could redirect the most common "bad" entry points but he doesn't want to :-) prefers answering 'support' problems with people who do have basic old bookmarks which don't work anymore [well if they were giving a pure 404 that would be ok; but they render a functionally broken site instead... which is quite strange... maybe the issue is there are old files/directories/symlinks/config from the old forums that need to be removed on the host ?]

(one way to find such a list is check the server logs for instance - or run the old setup on a side box if it's forgotten, or just collect the url above as a starting point; it won't cover 100% but if it covers even 60% of people's bookmarks it's a win)

Note that the problem isn't only people's bookmark but search engines:

for instance a google search for "jamba slash commands" returns:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/in...adID=15082&l=2
which renders the site but in a way where all forums are "empty" after that
which is really really bad (will get this site rank go down and user experience very bad ... and the site which tries to hijack us may well benefit from that... so all in all I think it's something worth a bit of work to make work better)
