moderators and thread movement and ext links


First, I think all the thread movement is a bit heavy handed, but so be it. The rules for posting in the first forums should be relaxed so unless you are way off base, any topic is ok. Just my opinion ...

The reason for this message is that if a moderator moves a thread and closes the old thread, can they not post a message in the old thread with the new thread so you can just click on it and stay on topic, without having to go and search for the thread in the new forum?

Another thing .. all my old links and bookmarks no longer work with the new BBS. Fortunately, in order to make them work, all I have to do is change the string "webflyer" to "flyertalk", which is fine for fixing up my personal bookmarks. However, external links which were posted using "webflyer" won't work. Can we fix that and make the webflyer web server just forward links to the flyertalk web server, by doing the string replacement for us, so the old links just work as expected?

Thanks,
David
