Links - Links - Links - all pointing noplace

Post by spignataro » Thu Apr 19, 2007 1:52 pm

It seems now that the forge is gone ALOT of links on the extension directory are now dead - leading no where. Some developers havnt either moved there project over or even been around to update - example would be joomap. I needed to grab a copy off line and went straight to the extension directory to download and lo-and-behold the link still pointing at the old forge. So i went to http://www.joomlacode.org and lo-and-behold the project hasnt been moved over.

I would consider mailing all developers on the extension directory about updating there links and give a week grace period. There is alot of them and dead links dont look good if you ask me.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

To make a long story short, Forge isn't supposed to be down at the moment and we have been busy with preparing the migration.

When the time comes, I will setup a CNAME to redirect all forge.joomla.org requests to joomlacode.org

@Tonie,

Ok - I thought it was taken down because the forge was over. That clears things up in a quick way.

@Brad

Thats a good idea.

And Brad - This is off topic - but why do you have a different online icon then everyone else?
