Forum Maintenance Today (Wednesday) - 10:30 AM CST

[hellasteph]

I redid all of my Step by Steps after the new forum upgrade.
Now just starting today, I have people telling me they don't work, so I checked a couple and they worked.
Then another one said they don't work, so I checked again.
It seems more of my Step by Steps don't work than work.
I click on some of them & get directed to an Error Page.
My Step by Step Index is below:

Hi Bear, we are working to correct any links that don't work. I wanted to reassure Richie that his content was still there. So that there's no confusion, we're going to correct ALL links so it doesn't matter which one you click, they ALL should work. Sound good?

Anything that is /t/ is not updated. Any links that have /threads/ is updated. Please see the links below that work:

Richie

Hi Richie, the standard http:// is now https:// wheras the "s" stands for secure. We use a higher security protocol to protect the website from attackers. This is something new and not yet adopted by other websites, so that's why you're seeing a mix of it here on SMF. There's nothing you did wrong or need to change on your part, it's all automatic.

Very simply, we protect your browsing experience here on SMF.

Well, At my age I don't mind a Nap Time, as long as it isn't permanent.
I would try just doing the opposite of what was done to them this morning.
They were all perfect prior to "Nap Time".
Now more than half of them don't work.
Oh well, I'll check it tomorrow.

Thanks,
Bear

Hey Bear, to be fair, "nap time" means some good BBQ but maybe that's just the hungry gal in me? ;)
Once you check again, we'll fix all of the broken links. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Hi Richie, no need to explain. When I finished college, I was a social worker who worked for at-risk youth who had one or both parents incarcerated. I later went on to help young people and vets who had PTSD to find the right therapy treatment for them. I completely understand.

 

[daveomak]

Thanks for moving to a higher security protocol.... Appreciated...

 

[hellasteph]

Update: we have fixed all broken URLs/links that weren't redirecting properly.

Bearcarver tropics Please try all your links that weren't working to see if they all work now.

 

[tropics]

All appears to be in order for mine,only one link for SMF isn't working

Thank You very much

My links seem to be working correctly, although I didn't check all of them, but the pages are still double loading & the time between loads is about 1 to 2 seconds.

I don't know about the other problems folks are having, but the forum loads the fastest since the upgrade. Don't tale 5-6 seconds to load anymore.
Thanks

I checked my Step by Steps Index out.
Like My Brother Richie, I didn't open them all, but I opened a couple from each Sub-Title, and they all opened.
I had a couple that had their pics missing again, but I don't know what caused that. Maybe I missed a couple when I redid them all, right after the Platform change????
