Our forum software was updated to version 2.8.0.beta6 about two weeks ago.
Previously tags was used in the URL for the overview as well as for individual tags. But now the latter requires tag in the URL, so all links in existing posts take you through to the Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private. page.
I made extensive use of such links in this table. I could have updated the URLs, but that would reset the click counters.
By pure luck I noticed today, that there is a redirect in place, but it only works in the composer’s preview or if you enter / edit a URL in the address bar. So, as a workaround users have to refresh the page.
Also Delete Unused Tags seems to be empty. However we have some reserved, but unused tags.
The redirect for legacy links only works, if you open the link in a new tab - which is why it works in the composer (s. my OP), as you cannot open the link in the composer’s tab.
This looks at least resolvable by running a remap task on your server?
Can you expand here, is there an easy repro. When I run this on meta it certainly lists 8 unused tags, so there is something about the tags it is not finding for you.
Being just a moderator I do not have access to our server. And given the few instances buried in old threads this is probably not a priority for our admins. I will suggest it, though.
It has not been working for me since, maybe it only works for admins now.
If it is not a privilege issue, what could our admins do to address this?
