We're going to lose like 75% of the posters, right?
With the new URL, I assume a number won't find it.

Yeah...I'm surprised they didn't just nuke the entire forum. So the fact that it exists at all is probably..a small miracle.

Between the abrupt URL change, along with the need (at least for me) to reset my password to log back in to the "new" site, along with the fact that the email they send with a link to the password reset page having the old broken URL (if you substitute the new format it actually DOES work however) ... yeah, OS handled this like a bunch a drunken chimps.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Wow. I had no idea this was happening. How did y'all find this? I only found it because someone posted the link at one of my MP leagues.

Good find on whomever found it. This could be very bad to an already slow forum.

I'm back in on the old URL. I hit refresh, and it loaded back up.

I'm not sure about internal links and those redirecting. Checking that now...

So I'm going to assume Russian hackers shut the site down?

I came here to see what was going on. Then I got redirected to the new OS forum with their shiny new Fox Sports sheen. Then I logged into my OS forum account and saw the forum.operationsports URL and then just figured I'd try to do FOFC and voila. |

Ok. I've now confirmed that a redirect is fully active for internal forum links as well. With that having happened, this should be a low/no-impact event, but I've given them an earful about letting us know ahead of time. (My guess is that they think FOFCers check the main OS site much more often than is actually happening.)

I musta been redirected because when I landed I was logged out and was prompted if I wanted to save the password when I logged in.
Wasn't forced into a PW change, but perhaps I should change it anyway. |

FYI, the old link DOES NOT work http://operationsports.com/fofc/forumdisplay.php?f=6 goes to Operation Sports, not the forum, same for http://operationsports.com/fofc/ So they might have fixed it when you thought they did, but it no workie now.

If you add the `www.` it works. I think they just didn't apply the redirect on the subdomain-less url.

That is very weird. I have been using the same bookmark the whole time, never had a blip: Off Topic - Front Office Football Central
