AUK forum ( not this one ) missing

[vorsprung]

When I visit the old url for the AUK forum, the official one for members, it says "it's moved to forum.audax.co.uk" when I visit that address this is what I see



Am I just using the wrong address??  Any thoughts?

1) Go to SpecSavers
2) Purchase reading glasses
3) Carefully scrutinise the redirect address

Don't use the .co

It is just

forum.audax.uk

*smartarse mode disengaged*

If the new URL had been clickable (instead of plain text), then V would have juist clicked on it and been saved his blushes.

But then a smartarse would have nothing to do on a Saturday morning

I click on the FORUM clicky on the top right of the aukweb.net homepage.

It is a clickable link on my display, but it links to the wrong address; hence the park page. It says 'forum.audax.uk' but links to 'forum.audax.co.uk'. It just needs re-jigging by the webmaster.

Yes, thank you, but that's really not very helpful! It is from that page that vrosprung clicked on the 'Forum' link in the menu at the left hand side, which gave him this page, on which is an incorrect link to the forum. Try it. You'll get the 'Sorry' page he showed us above.

Yes, Helly, I agree - but if you follow the route vorsprung took, you get that 'Sorry' page. This is the page you get to from the menu on the Calendar page:



The link at the top right goes to the right place, but the link in the second paragraph leads to 'forum.audax.co.uk', which doesn't exist.

[hellymedic]

Aaaah! I see...

I beg to differ

{Can't see any difference between these two addresses; but the 1st one doesn't work, whilst the 2nd one does}.

The above link won't work either!

This HTML business isnt as easy as it looks, is it?

It's not HTML.  It's URLs (and domain names and - missing - redirections)

Actually in this case it's BBCode:

Code: [Select]

[url=http://forum.audax.uk/index.phpI've]http://forum.audax.uk/index.php[/url]
[/pedant] 

[mattc]

And the pedantry is raised to another level - chapeau!

Except it's not the HTML or the BBCode that is the problem, it's the URL.

Oops.  I didn't actually click the link, so I didn't actually see what the issue was.  Yup, the problem is with HTML/BBCode

This should work.

So I was using the wrong address.  "forum.audax.uk" is quite an odd address

For the Forum for Audax UK?  What's odd about that?

Mostly that a .uk (rather than .co.uk) suffix isn't that common, so is likely to be mistyped more often than not.

On a related topic, how many domain names does Audax UK need?

My answer used to be "one". But a lot of people got very very excited about how the old one was impossible to find (allegedly).

As esteemed posters have noted, the domain for the auk forum has changed . Not so apparent is that so has the ISP, and sadly changing ISPs is easier said than done. Hopefully - the gods of the internet permitting - we are now done, complete with redirect from forum.audax.co.uk to forum.audax.uk.

Audax.co.uk was only ever a stepping stone to the preferred domain of audax.uk though. Apart from having a domain that exactly reflects the organisation name, AUK officers and service providers now have functional email addresses of the @audax.uk variety, so we have secretary@audax.uk, validations@audax.uk, etc.

So we move on. Think of it as an incremental gain...

ps. when I get round to it I'll I've set a redirect from www.audax.uk to www.aukweb.net. Aukweb will be with us a while yet.

Mr Secretary, Thankyou!

[Arry-R]

Nothing short of superb

Stability of the new ISP appears to be somewhat questionable.  For the second day running, the forum.audax.uk site has been down for an extended period (and not just for me, if isup.me is to be believed).
