This is not the first time that links have been broken. In 2005 the graphic redesign changed the URLs of all the pages. The www.ptg.org page is now running on a Content Management System so that Home Office staff can have direct control of the content. Basically, everything is one page with the content being supplied by a database. We had some pages like that in the past. Every link to every page has been broken. I have an error page that gives people a link to the main page hoping they will find what they are looking for. I put some redirects with the old file names to the new pages. findATechnician.php was the page that got the most traffic so there is a redirect to the new page. I went through the analytics and put redirects for the pages that were at the top of the traffic. I could add more. It sounds like the brochures and bulletins are a choice. Do I need to put them for each bulletin or just the page listing them? This is always a problem when moving to a new system. There is no point in recreating the whole file system in redirects but I will try to hit the most important ones. In the end we want people to link to the new page. ron On Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 8:12 AM, J Patrick Draine <jpdraine at gmail.com>wrote: > Friends, I have chosen to not get too excited (especially in a negative > way) about changes to our mail lists and the PTG website.
