Silmarillion Writers' Guild

Two weeks ago, we installed a major and necessary software update to the SWG archive. Unfortunately (and to make a long story short) changes in the directory structure between the two software versions of the software meant that we had to set up redirects in order to make existing links work and keep URLs short, tidy, and in the format we have used since reopening the site in March 2021.

This proved to be a much trickier task than we anticipated. Today, Russandol and I put some fixes in place that we hope will fix 95% of the issues.

• There should be no redirection errors, and you should not appear logged out when accessing older links.
• Older links should work.
• Links should like they always did: silmarillionwritersguild.org/something without a whole bunch of extra junk in the URL.

The only exception to this is links from between September 19 and October 2 that contain /silmarillionwritersguild/web as part of the URL. These links will not work. Take out the /silmarillionwritersguild/web bit and they'll work fine.

Please report anything on the site that isn't working for you and any redirection errors you receive. Send us an ask or email us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org to report problems. There are a couple of known lingering issues to do with theming and notifications; all known site issues can be found here.
