Flyertalk redirects broken
http://flyertalk.com/forum/ is now a broken redirect. It redirects to http://www.flyertalk.com/forums/. Please fix this so that all the links that use the flyertalk.com domain will work. Thanks.

What seems to be happening is that some pre-vBSEO bookmarks & links are not being properly resolved, e.g. clicking on this bookmark:
nets me an offer to download your forumdisplay.php script. Once you are in FT, internal links seem to be ok. Maybe vBSEO's rewrite instructions are corrupted?
It's still broken. A couple of my FT bookmarks don't work.
These work:
DL, UA, WN, FB, YX, MR, TS&S, CBz, ORP, OMNI
These offer downloads:
NW, CO
Seems largely fixed now except for those last two, at least for me.

Some links that use showthread.php?t= or showthread.php?p= are not currently working. I'm not sure why some work but others apparently don't. I have thousands of these types of links in dozens of FAQs.

Thanks - I thought it was just my latest Firefox update or that the FT host had crashed (or some computer thing - I'm a hardware person).

Selecting a forum group from the menu at the very top of the page works okay, as does using the forum jump drop-down at the bottom of the page.
I cleared the cache as suggested on another thread but it didn't help. I'm using Firefox 3.0.6 FWIW.
