new forums issue

 

Hi all

 

whenever I search for a topic in google and find a link from ITRC and if I click on that link, that link does not take me straight to that post!! WHY? It take to the main forums page, and even there I had to search again trhough the topics the one that I was looking for...

 

Is that normal? Or something wrong with my profile/setup?

Re: new forums issue

Hi,
the old links like itrc.hp.com... does not longer work due to the fact that Google cache is just outdated since the migration. At least as far as I know HP or any other company has no influence on it, this will change by time as the cache get's updated.

All links inside the new forums leading to forums posts gets updated from current to old ones, this process is already running but for 2.5 million posts this will need some time as well.

Until this is done i found a "might work" solution to translate old links: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Community-Feedback-Suggestions/Google-results-shows-ITRC-old-URL/m-p/4806797#M619

Some official information regarding this can be found here: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Announcements/ITRC-redirect-announcement/m-p/4805811

Some more hints in my signature.

 

hth,

Stephan
