chamster Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 First of all, I'm sorry if i posted this topic in the wrong section, but i don't know where to put it. This is about the website, so I didn't want to put it Here: [http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php/topic,66183.0.html](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php/topic,66183.0.html), because, people might think it has to do with the EO.Second, The problem that I've found have to do with this page: [http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php/topic,75901.0.html](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php/topic,75901.0.html) When I try to click on the Tut names, It takes me to the main page, which is: [http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php). At first I though It was my Browser so I downloaded a new Browser but same thing happened, than I though it was my computer, So, I tried it on my brother's Computer but the same thing still happens.

BlazingShadow Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This is definitely the wrong place to post it. it is not a problem with the website. it is a problem with that person's post. PM them or reply to the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This had happened to me. It muse be because when you tried you weren't logged in. the link will have some unwanted things after index.php to /topic. remove it and you can view the topic.

Ruins of Hell Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The problem is the smf/ directory redirects to smf2/'s homepage. I've fixed up the Tutorials page.Does it work now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't just fix the bad redirecting because I don't have web server access (not that I need it, of course). I made a post asking Marsh to fix the redirects, so we'll have to wait for him to get around to it. I'm going around and fixing some important it posts that are messed up.

abhi2011 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Seeing as that you are an administrator can't you just edit the post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 @abhi2011:> Seeing as that you are an administrator can't you just edit the post?Every single post containing /smf/ instead of /smf2/? No thank you. I did edit some of the indexes because they are important, but other than that I haven't touched anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just use replace function of text editor. Copy the post find /smf/ and replace with /smf2/. It's that easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 @abhi2011:> Just use replace function of text editor. Copy the post find /smf/ and replace with /smf2/. It's that easy.I would have to edit every single post on the entire site, paste it in a text editor, do the replace, and put it back. There are 684690 posts on this site. Even if I could find every single one, and edit them in 5 seconds flat, it would still take me 40 days of non-stop work. Also I have no idea where it is located. These pages aren't static, and I can't just download the HTML and then reupload it.I have done the text editor with some of the prominent indexes, like the Source, Graphics, and Tutorial Index, but other than that I will not go and fix every link of the site.Marsh can't fix it by just using a redirect either since at the moment the site is tightly integrated with the smf directory.

Kaejer Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just an idea, since this is a global forum problem that can't be fixed… perhaps post a sticky explaining it and how to fix it? Or some kind of note somewhere on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or some kind of note somewhere on the forum.If it's not fixed by tomorrow (I doubt it will be), I'll throw a notice up in the news. Normal forum members will probably not experience any disruptions. If there are any topics that you believe impact a majority of users that you need me to fix, I will fix them. Otherwise, I'd rather not have every tutorial saying "Edited by Soul" at the bottom.

Send Marshy Dearest a screenshot of your browser window along with the thread link.@abhi2011:> Oh i thought that it would be simple :embarrassed:Don't feel bad, when I originally saw the problem I thought it would be an easy fix too (redirect smf to smf2). However it is much more complicated than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
