hi i have links in my favourites for pmdg fs2crew but everytime i click on the link i get the message oops The page you are looking for could not be found. i can get on the forum thru the vendors website then set the favourite link again but still get the same error message. the problem seems to be with the avsim forums all my other favourite links are working ok any help please.

Just update your links, all the direct links changed.

please reference this article on why and what was done.

John - am I correct in assuming the way things are will be how things stay? I had my support forum linked in a couple apps and now that means the whole process of re-submitting to Apple etc which takes a week.

 

Thanks

I cannot guarantee anything at the moment, as we're still trying to ascertain exactly WHY this is happening. But yes, I'd prefer to keep the fURLS turned on. If you continue to use the LONG format URLS you have now, those will ALWAYS work, no matter what we turn on or off.

 

Turning fURLS back on will not harm the long URLs.

Okay so a link to a forum right now, such as http://forum.avsim.net/index.php?showforum=493 "should" always work?

yes it should.

 

however, if it were me, I'd created a link to a URL on your own domain, and use a redirect there to whatever URL you need. In that way, if ABC.com becomes XYZ.com you can just change your redirect.

Sounds good. I'll do that on the next go-around. Thanks!
