Link from Bluemoment front page

The link is to the old site http://www.bluemoment.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and it doesn't automatically direct to the new one. It worked OK yesterday.

I find that the link on the home page, and the one in the above post take me to the new forum site.

Possible Fred Drift - If you Google say 'Marcon Claymore' then the first 3 entries are BlueMoment posts ( Nick must know his way round the search engine techniques ) but of course the address is the old phpBB2 one and can't be found. Don't know how easy it would be to drive searches to the new site.

All sorted I think. I've used 301 redirects in .htaccess files which should take care of the index page plus topic or forum pages. If you try those Marcon Claymore links now they should work.

Yes, they work fine now. It seemed a shame to get to the top of the Google search and then fall over.

I just hit the same snag with the link to the Forums from the Calendar (lovely picture!) page - it's to BB2.
