Zetaboards URL Structure; I THINK it goes here. Move if not.

Well, as we all (hopefully) know, IF and ZB have different URL structures for topics/forums.

For example, topic #12 on an IF board would look like: http://support.invisionfree.com/index.php?showtopic=12

Whilst topic #12 on a ZB board would look like: http://beta.zetaboards.com/test/topic/12/

Now my question concerns upgrading. When (if) we upgrade, will EVERY link on our IF board be changed to ZB format. EVERY link?

i'd assume so but my guess is that the old IF links would still work if you have them on your site.

the new links are better, they are much more search engine friendly.

I would guess that old URLs will still work

If you upgrade, and the links change, then i think every link will change and the old url's wont work. if they dont, that means alot of cleaning up to do for admins with switching urls in codes, archives, etc.

I would think they would. They went through all that trouble just to create ZB, they probably wuld want to keep the old urls.

Forums will still be accessible through their old URL's once upgraded to ZetaBoards. So both the old and new will direct to the same place.

Please don't go off topic. I don't want this closed before I can thank Dan for confirming that. Does this mean we won't need to update our links?

Well, it's a good idea to inform your users that the URL has changed and ask them to update their bookmarks or whatever.

But this does:

The URLs will change, but the old URLs will still work.
