Hey all,

I'm looking to migrate site design/infrastructure and am concerned about breaking the tutorial link. Is there a way to update it? Believe it or not I have looked. I might only have 1 tutorial but I intend to change that, I'm just busy with work and site design.

If this feature isn't implemented, could you please do so? It wouldn't be hard to create an automated "check-back" system to verify with the original poster, as well as with staff approval that it indeed links to the same tutorial, and update the links.

Or, should I just delete my tutorial and resubmit it in the future?

Thanks in advance.

Certainly! All you have to do is PM Faken or another admin, or post a topic here, and they'll get it fixed for you! :)

Well, if you want my advice...a new design does not constitute a new url structure, even if the back end has been modified...so try to at least use the rewrite engine or just a simple redirect to keep the url working as you will loose any back links you may have form other sites + search engines.

Remember to search, btw ;)

Select "Your listing requires changes or removal" from the subject dropdown and tell us what you need changed :)

Thanks.

Unfortunately the package change will require a change in link format, that is why I asked. I have been using Simple Machines, but it is a bit too heavy for my site and I need something a little lighter weight. Unfortunately almost all forums have different link structures (especially SMF). :)
