• If you're a past member of the board, but can't recall your password any more, you don't need to set up a new account (unless you wish to). As long as you recall your old login name, you can log in with that user name then select 'forgot password' and the board will email you at your registration email, to let you reset your password.

Fixed old-to-new site links

Just an FYI -- all the old board links anyone has saved to a given page, or that come up on the search engines, now automatically redirect to the correct new url for that given page. In other words, a url for a thread on the old board now correctly pulls up the same thread, just with the new url.

You might notice that the urls now for a given thread are no longer a random number -- eg 36501 -- but include the actual title of the thread. This makes it a lot easier for search engines to categorise pages.

Amazingly enough, the little piece of code I put in actually worked! :lol: I am really pleased though as otherwise there'd just have been loads of broken links for ages.

NB: the old index page will redirect to the Home section of the site that is not yet finished.
