Redirects from the new forum, and archive copies of old forum content

ericbsd … the day that the phpBB version does not support a new version of PHP or MySQL, I will remove that forum.

That's reasonable, thanks. @ericbsd looking ahead, to when the old forum disappears:

In the meantime, I'm occasionally archiving. Using any of the following:

Most often the Wayback Machine, for example:

Historically, clicking and searching in the old forum might have presented URLs such as these:

https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?p=11338#p11338 or https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=2525&p=11338 for an opening post
https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=2525 for the topic

– so it's not unusual to find links using the ⋯?f=⋯&t=⋯ style of URL. We might think of this style as a historic norm for phpBB.

Expect canonical URLs to be archived in the Wayback Machine and elsewhere.

Please note

URLs such as https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=2525 were normal but not canonical. So, for example, https://old-forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=2525 – the result of a redirect – is not canonical. The current canonical URL for this example:

– without the f reference number.

I use the Canonical extension for Mozilla Firefox. YMMV, I guess that something similar exists for Chromium and so on.
