(BUG?) Merging topics gives 404 on old link
Hello all,
We regularly merge topics because they are doubles or similair.
However, we just noticed that when doing so, the URL of the old topic gives a 404 if you use it….
This became clear when doing so and checking the old URL which was still being found in Google.
Is this a bug where the move action on the last reply in a topic (the real first topic post) does not trigger a redirect on the old url?
So far when changing titles, the URL changes, but the old URL will get a redirect.
This should also be for moving the last post of a topic to another topic right?
Right now this means you can't merge two topics completely. Therefore I would say this is a pretty ugly bug.
PS, in this topic it has been previously addressed by Darran, but the 30 seconds don’t apply here… This is still going on after a couple of hours.
Cheers,
