Re: New messages unseen
In Response To: New messages unseen ()

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but for anyone keeping links to old discussions as reference (I have several hundred in my database), these links no longer work. Example:

ht tp://www.isle-of-man.com/cgi-bin/interests/genealogy/bulletin/index.pl?noframes;read=9939

Now redirects to:

ht tp://www.isle-of-man.com/genealogy/messageboard/index.pl (this is the main forum URL)

To me, this is the biggest problem with the new board. I will now need to go through all of those links, find the new location and update my database and website. This will probably take months. If there's a way to auto-redirect the old URL to the new URL, this will be beneficial.

Also, there is no way to search back on the Live Forum longer than 2 weeks. This needs to be extended back to the beginning of the Live Forum (at least).
