I believe that Rick said that was intended behavior, when you're linking just to a specific forum you'll get the forum list. (I'd rather such links to go specific forums as well)

If you link to a specific thread or post, however, it should redirect to that specific thread or post as intended.

The redirector works fine on my site. It looks like your site is closed?

It works well on mine too (coming from UBB.C); the PHPBB redirectors we tested privatley also work well for me... As I dind't come from .Threads I cant vouch for how well they work.

the redirector only sends people to the main forum list - it does not fully redirect \:\(

We had exactly the same problem, with a large number of links.

Fortunately, we tend to use links such as http://www.fansfocus.com/hornchurch - and so I had to just update a hundred or so links in a vhost.conf file.

Sadly I had to scrap our menu system - as this was all based around the old forum names of say /hornchurch rather than /123 - the new forum id numbers as opposed to words are more problematic for my php skills LOL \:\(

My Classic board remains in read-only mode w/ a link to Threads. The links should redirect to the Threads board. I'm keeping the Classic board up for a while just to be sure things are okay, and, to remind me what it used to look like... ;\)

nope - I assumed it only redirected to the forumlist page.

Unfortunately, with over 400 forums, redirecting someone who was trying to go to the "football forum" to the master list of "every single forum in the system" isn't exactly helpful \:\) And since we've been around for five years, and have hundreds of thousands of pages on the site (never mind on other peoples' sites), it's pretty much impossible for us to update all of those old links. I guess I will move on to other issues I can actually fix!
