Attention The forum will be moving to the domain root

[Brogan]

It is highly likely that the forum will be moving to the domain root in the near future,

Currently it is installed in /community, which makes the main forum URL http://cliptheapex.com/
It will shortly be moving to the domain root which will make the main forum URL http://cliptheapex.com

The home page will become http://cliptheapex.com/pages/home/ in the short term but that will change again at some point, becoming simply http://cliptheapex.com, which is the main reason for the move.

Similarly, all other URLs will be affected; for example:
http://cliptheapex.com/overtaking/ will become http://cliptheapex.com/overtaking/
http://cliptheapex.com/fantasy-f1/ will become http://cliptheapex.com/fantasy-f1/

And so on.

The change should be transparent as we will implement automatic redirects.
However, when it does happen, we will let you know so you can update your bookmarks.

I hope to get this done in the coming week.

I need to check exactly how much work is involved as a lot of the pages use hard coded URLs for images, etc.

 

[Brogan]

The change will be happening later this evening.

You may see some broken images and hit a few broken URLs for a while but they will be rectified as soon as possible.

If it's still happening by tomorrow, please post here to let me know

 

[Brogan]

The move is complete.

Please update your bookmarks to remove /community from the URL.

Yeah, i just wrote the funniest post ever written and it wouldn't work! Damn that "downtime" nonsense.

 

[F1ang-o]

I still can't see my Bookmarks though

 

[Brogan]

The Bookmarks feature has been removed, as I explained on the other thread.

 

[F1ang-o]

Does that mean that I wont be able to recover them.... or will they automatically be re-instated?

 

[Brogan]

By bookmarks I mean your browser bookmarks.

The Boorkmarks feature in the forum won't be returning.

 

[F1ang-o]

I expected your response to be ...why dont you STF up...cant you see I'm busy.......

[Brogan]

I believe that everything has been updated.

There are redirects in place so even if I've missed something, you should still land on the intended page.

If anyone does notice any old links, missing images or other issues related to the move, please let me know.

For anyone else who is having issues (and yet still managed to find their way here!) I had to clear my browser cache for the new links to work. Before, trying to go to cliptheapex.com, clicking on the forums links at the top or clicking on the logo at the top was taking me to cliptheapex.com/communities/home (probably remembered that URL incorrectly) and chucking back a page does not exist error.

 

[Brogan]

Yes, browser cache can be a real pain sometimes, especially Chrome.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Or any browser on a Mac. Caching can be a royal bastard on a mac. PCs tend not to be so bad, generally.

Emails from the system directing you to watched posts still direct you to the old address (or did at 17:30 last night). This does not then re-direct you to the appropriate post with the new address.

 

[Brogan]

Thanks canis, that has been fixed.

Like a noob I forgot to update the board URL in the ACP <facepalm>

 

[The Pits]

I was going to say, but I assumed you had it covered.

 

[Brogan]

I had so many things on my to do list as part of the move and re-factoring but I completely forgot about that

If anyone spots anything else, please say as I don't have anything outstanding now.
