We have a couple of kinks to iron out on our new site--I hope to finish up our refinements over the next two weeks.

If you see any big problems, can you please respond here?

Thanks guys! Smile

It's not the bugs or issues as such but it's S&F forum so I'm posting it anyways.

The web-address (url) of the forums' index page now has changed to www.beatthegmat.com/forums. Most of the times people (including myself) forget about plural word & type '/forum'. and it brings BTG home page.
Can we rediect this url for forum index page?

Also, when I add '/' after the forums' index page it redirects to BTG home page
attaching pic:
notice on address bar the url is /forums/ & page we get is BTG home page Sad

P.S: /login.php (just added in nav bar) not showing proper page, it's redirecting to forums' index page.

Terms of service and Legal Disclaimer link back to Home when you're in the Forums section. If you're in the Home section there are no issues (Terms of service leads to Terms of service and Privacy policy leads to Privacy policy). Man I'm bad at IT terms, I hope you guys understand what I'm saying. I guess this is why I upload pictures with the stuff! Smile

BTW, using Firefox.


Cheers.

I'm not sure but I think /a/ folder is made temporary for this transition phase & should be fine once it's over.
