We've installed an update that produces wordy URLs for each page rather than random numbers. You do NOT need to do anything differently. Old links will continue to work. This is mainly a cosmetic modification.
For example, the News and Aircraft Visitors forum now appears as
instead ofand individual thread URLs will look like
rather thanWe have tested this, but please let us know if you see anything weird in terms of site operation.
Thanks!
SEO FTW...
The "LGA Daily Report" thread fails with a 404 error, probably because of the "smart quote" apostrophe. The URL looks like this: http://nycaviation.com/forum/lga-dai...-t9863s135.php
(The fact that the apostrophe ends up as %CA%B9 means it's a two-byte Unicode character and not a regular ' character.)
Also, the "Mark forums read" link on the main forum page doesn't work; it just links back to the main page without actually doing anything.
Upcoming trips link doesnt work:
your-upcoming-trips,-biz-or-fun-t4835s405.php
From the "there's a new post" e-mail notification, the provided link in that e-mail:
http://nycaviation.com/forum/viewtop...=93407&e=93407
doesn't work. It redirects to:
http://nycaviation.com/forum/new-for...p=93407#p93407
which is a 404 error. Changing the ampersand to a question mark works but the behind-the-scenes rewriting should probably take care of adding a ? before any query string.
Apologies for the problems. I have located fixes for all of them. Will start fixing now.
ewr thread as well
I have fixed all the bugs reported above. The only one I couldn't test was the email notifications. Anyone want to give it a go? Thanks!
Just tried it now (the jump to latest post link) and it's working now.
Thanks very much for your help, everyone.
If only A.net could fix stuff as fast as you do. Thanks!
Im having problems trying to look on Spotting maps and the Calenders as well, it keeps saying error 404 TTP
That's a separate issue. Looking into that now.Quote:

Nice work guys!! :borat:
Actually, I take that back. It works for posts with one page (or where the new post is on the first page) but not when the new post is on a later page.Quote:

It leads to the first page.
The icon to go to the first unread post does not work, it comes back with a 404 error.
Just figured I'd bring this up again, since it's still an issue. Any possibility of a solution for this?Quote:

The e-mail contains this link (which should go directly to the new post):
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=15072&p=110705&e=110705
When I click that, I end up at:
jfk-might-be-a-real-cluster-this-summer-t15072.html-sid=931d5e580f202c510eff94aea11aeb5d#p110705
(which is page 1 of the thread)
Clicking the "direct to this post" link for the new post gives me this URL:
jfk-might-be-a-real-cluster-this-summer-p110705.html#p110705
Without knowing what's happening on the back end for the URL rewrites, it seems like it should be possible to look for a URL with a p= parameter and write it to be the "<thread title>-p<post id>" format instead of "<thread title>-t<thread id>".
