New forums have broken google results

Recommended Posts

Just a heads up, seems the new forum layout has broken ALL results that show up in a google search, it just takes you to the fourm homepage, same with any links to old posts, mayjor issue when looking stuff up!!!

The forum search feature is incredibly slow, but if you type in the thread titles listed on google, you can still find things. Sorta.

 

But really they should just be rewriting those urls instead of sending everyone to the main forum.

Worse still is links from places like Armaholic to mod discussions are all broken now too.

This has been fixed, but not fully. Anchor links to specific post still don't work:

The first one is not a biggie, you still end up in the correct thread. The second one breaks a lot of other external links. I have a feeling that all the post ID's have changed, so it's close to impossible to fix this, unless they make a conversion table from the old database...
