FT has been problematic the last day or two, and is still very slow loading at times, but a new problem as of tonight for me...

From the forum page: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/

The the category links in blue just link back to the Forum page:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index...rline-programs
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index...line-alliances
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index.php#hotel-programs
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index...grams-partners
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index...grams-partners
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index...grams-partners

well, you get the idea...

Even if I can get a direct link to AA from this thread: http://flyertalk.com/forum/american-aadvantage-445/ at the top of the AA thread it shows the thread structure and even that link to "Airline Programs" just links back to the Forum page: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index...rline-programs

The direct links on the Forum page, such as the link to the Tech Issues forum, newsstand, safety/security, travelbuzz, etc. still work

I have the forums in their old form bookmarked (in the above format) and in Google Chrome it seems to automatically direct to the new URLs.

Each thread is now referenced in the URL by its name rather than its number. So what used to be "showthread.php?t=704796" is now "american-aadvantage/704796-lifetime-status-just-made-gold-platinum-life-shout-brag-etc-consolidated.html".

really annoying for sure.

I am providing these to people that see this and wany to access those forums. I don't frequent any others to get them quickly.

If anyone needs anymore, just google it. E.g., "FlyerTalk Delta Forum" will net the right result.

Funny- everything was changed for ibSEO, but the easiest way to fix things is to google the old pages..

It looks like FT is taking the Delta Web Release method. Release changes and call it a soft launch and see how people react

Joking aside, I can't get to anything because of instead of using the numbers it appears as FT is attempting to using name's with # at the end....

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1 changes to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index.php#miles-points

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index...grams-partners I beleive what used to be http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=389

So, this is going on all day now. Anything being done about it, or just complaining to the wind?
