The Computer Audiophile Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi Guys - I've received a number of emails from people asking if certain forums, threads, or articles have been removed. The new site just shows an error message when they click on a bookmark or link to CA on another site. If you run into this issue, please post the link in this thread and I will fix it so the old link redirects appropriately to the new address. P.S. Yes, I know the "best" way to do this is to redirect all URLs, but I can't find anyone with the skills and time to create the rules, given how the URLs were formatted on the old site etc... semente 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

There are six or seven others threads that came up on Google that I tried to link to yesterday. Yes, there are about 90,000 important links. I'm taking on the most accessed and linked-to pages / threads. Unfortunately the one you provided above has an issue that isn't allowing me to redirect it automatically. Here's a link to get you to that page - Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Old link: https://www.computeraudiophile.com/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post This is how I digest my forums. Please tell me this feature is not gone. This thread is design for people looking for these views that appear to be gone but they really aren't. They are called Activity Streams now and can be created custom for each user and can be set as default when clicking Activity up top etc... https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/31220-new-forum-custom-activity-streams-views/ Also, I believe this is the view you want - https://www.computeraudiophile.com/discover/unread/?& JediJoker 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just now, Dr Tone said: I'm just waiting patiently for google to get it's search result links straightened out. You and me both. I spent the night manually creating redirect links for about 500 of the most linked-to pages. one would think Google could just reindex the site and call it good, but it doesn't work this way. Search rankings involve so much more than just content. Google considers how many other sites link to one's site and if those links still work etc... It's a huge can of worms. I remember after the last site software change when all the links also changed. I said I'd never to it again. Never say never :~( Anyway, the work continues with Google's tools to get all the search results and links back to normal. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

What I would do is write a bit of code to hook into 404 errors and look up and redirect the old to the new URI. my 2p.. I'd love to pay someone to do this, but can find nobody capable.

The Computer Audiophile Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 2 hours ago, jabbr said: It would all depend on what backend you are using but generally I'd hook the 404 exception and then pass the URI into a 1:1 database that you populate with old:new URIs. If found, do a redirect to new URI, if not then return the 404. The problem is mapping the old to the new URI. Right now I have to manually create 301 redirects by finding the old URI, searching for the content on the new site to find the new URI, then enter it into the db. Impossible with 90,000 URIs. Here's an example: Old URI - http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/computer-audiophile-site-upgrade-coming-march-18-2017-a-31798/ New URI - https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/31040-ca-site-upgrade-coming-march-18-2017/ Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

However, after the new CA, it only shows messy code instead of pictures. Can you please fix these? Thanks in advance.
