A number of members have complained about getting a 404 'Page not found' message when using 'old' links to individual topics or a specific forum. Old links include bookmarks in your browser, links saved in documents or links found via a Google or other search engine.
Thanks to sterling work by Mark Wheeler of Cornerstone Registrations (our provider of membership and main website services), there is now a solution for that problem. There is no further need for changing the URL, as you will not notice any difference whichever way your 'old' links access the forums.
