[closed] bug/error: Links not resloving when found in Google search.

[Kyle]

When i do a search on Google and a link is shown for a Edugeek forum post i get the following error

 

error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

 

 

Is this just me or is the same for everyone else?

I presume this will be because the topics at the web address given by google no longer exists because they will be referencing the old forums and not the new ones.

yep, the redirect script appears not to work. Google will reindex the site soon anyway.

As long as we don't loose any potential new members when the links do not resolve.

Strange, it works for me. I just did a quick search for 'sims.net update hell' and it returned 'www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=87639' which redirects to 'www.edugeek.net/forums/showthread.php?p=86336'

yeah, ZH got that working at BETT...

 

maybe a server error? seems to work again now

[Geoff]

It would probably help if you post the original link you followed Kyle. For example, this one breaks as described above for me.

I did a search on Google for Q-res and its the bottom but one link. If i click on the link this is what i get in the browser.....

hmmmm...you're right.

 

how strange

Hmm I made an adjustment which should get you back to the index of the forums.

Can you please post a copy of a broken url and I will rewrite the part broken.

 

Cheers
