Title: Broken link
Post by: jwillett2009 on September 24, 2020, 09:42:02 AM
Hi,

I hope this is the right forum to report this but there is a broken link from the sign in at https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php.

It is jumping us out to http://ww38.orestryforum.com/board/index.php... so it looks like its just a typo in the script for the page.... Missing "F".

It only happens for me when completely signed out and signing back in from this page.

Thanks. I'll watch here in case you need any other info from me.

Jamie

You NEED TO GET RID OF YOUR OLD BOOKMARKS! Make sure you are logging into and bookmarking at:

https://forestryforum.com

or

https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php

I assume by the all caps response this is probably a known past issue. 

I do not use bookmarks, never have. I log in directly at forestryforum.com and then click the graphic link that says "enter the forestry forum" (with the tree and sun). I sign in on that page and from there it links to the aforementioned broken link.

I can make it work by backtracking from there so I wont bother you further with this.

Do you start to type in the address then click the text that appears as a suggestion? If you do, that is a bookmark. do you type www? we don't use www. Don't do that. Make sure you see the lock in the address. If you don't, you are not where you need to be.  You have to beware of fake sites. Because of the type of business we are in, and because we have a lot of traffic, there are lots of bad guys trying to take advantage of that.  If you went to the wrong site once, your browser may very well try and default yout to the wrong site again. Delete your cache and histroy as well.
