Sorry to necro this thread 8 years later but is anyone still around from this time? Hoping to potentially find people who youkaiz might've shared his map with. (For development purposes, of course)
Question: Is there a way to remove thread redirects? It creates a copy of the moved thread and takes up space, and I am leaning towards wanting to remove them in the Headline News. But if they have an expiration date, I guess I'm fine with it.
If you move a thread please leave a permanent redirect. You can delete any redirects after 6 months. The redirects are left to help Search Engines find the moved content.
if a redirect ends up in the same forum as the post it goes to though I think the redirect drops or fails or something but they are not bugged out and when you are working on an indirect the original post is safe.
I found out you can't delete nor hide redirect links to existing threads. It will just stay there. I have no choice now but to start moving thread redirects to News Archive.
We need to do something about the Headline News forum now that Ghan got the News script to work on the forums. We need an Other category really now more than we need a headline news forum full of redirects
so much for the redirects I think they are useless anyway because posts urls are set and the redirects were just extra if something is indexed by the search engine it still will be without the redirect since the original url does not change
I was wondering if it'd be best to consolidate all of the Headline News threads into 1 place, and then let the users click on navigation links that would show/hide threads based on their thread flairs? Splitting the Headline News up like this would mean the only way to see all of the news is to go to the Home page and check there.
