Add server redirect for old urls with the 'forum' part

Post by Uberdude »

Lots of links around the web to lifein19x19 have urls which now break, e.g. https://senseis.xmp.net/?TheWayOfCreati ... StrongGame has a link to https://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewt ... 57&t=13834 which now breaks, because the forum subdirectory needs to be omitted. The new link is https://www.lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=13834. Could the server redirect the old link to new one automatically please?

Ooh, good catch. I completely forgot about that old redirect recently when I patched in a new reverse proxy. I will fix this ASAP!

Okay, this should be resolved now! The links you gave work - hopefully I didn't inadvertently break something else in the process ;-)
