Broken links thread

[Meule]

But still no love for Dinah, eh?

[Dave Mc]

It is my intention to do detailed accessory check pages for both AJ and Dinah. I just need someone to step up and help me. I don't own all this stuff. I need a member who is willing to either take some pics, or loan me some stuff to photograph.

Can't help you there, but I was actually talking about fixing the broken links I talked about a few posts ago

Found a broken link today fellas.
In the header table, where the



logo is...far righthand side where it says, "go to www.megomuseum.com"

the link is looking for index.html and goes to a smirky mr mxlp not found error.
Appears to be broken on all pages like that.

I'm still not sure what to do about this. It's not really broken, because it takes you where you want to go, but it looks broken. Fixing it is a problem. It's a long story.

[noelani72]

yea, I was surprised to get the error; it successfully redirects if you give it time.
I've been out of HTML loop for a while and I really don't understand the new languages...

at the root of megomuseum.com , is the main page (that was recently given a facelift) index.html or is it something else?

Editing the sorta-broken links to reflect Mego Museum | Preserving Mego history today, making Mego history tomorrow. instead of http://www.megomuseum.com/index.html doesn't work?

[noelani72]

ahh..just noticed when I posted that reply, the forum recognized the html and changed my wording..

[noelani72]

or -
the Whoops page; change the meta refresh from five seconds to one second?

301 server-side redirects are pretty awesome

[megoscott]

The problem is this. All the links in the site go to index.html. The new blog/homepage is index.php. Causes a conflict, so I had to turn off index.html. Changing that link site wide is out of the question. So. I could change the blog/homepage to something else and index.html will have to redirect to it...but I am resistant to that.

Oy chico. . . .hear you. Not simple.

Maybe I'm missing something, and PLEASE, do not feel like you need to explain if you don't want to.

Just sayin', I have used 301s with a lot of success, and I'm talking about redesigning a client's longstanding site and dealing with the legacy links to it that are scattered all over the web. 301 is only thing that saved me.

[megoscott]

Would it surprise you know I have no idea what you are talking about?

Lemme google this 301 thing you speak of.

[sauce]

OH! You're gonna flip!

[megoscott]

Ah. very nice. ok, paging joe derouen...

[noelani72]

zooom...right over my head hahaha

301 does look neat, what brief time I spent reading on it via google..
