    I logged in now with my newly created twitter account.
    Would it possible to restore the login with google account ?
    In Edit profile there is a possibiliy to “Click here to associate with Google”, but doesn’t work.

        Since the old URL is still saying “in progress”, and Don hasn’t updated links on the main website to the Community (and because some of the posts made 2 days ago – including his announcement that the forum would be moving), I am assuming he’s not done with the transition.

        I am hoping he will eventually have the Google-login re-enabled.

        (I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had already linked my Community account to my GitHub, because I primarily log in using the Google and didn’t remember doing the linking.)

        I am hoping @donho will make it clear – with a redirect from the old link, and updating the links from the main website to here – when he thinks the transition to the new Community is “live”.

                Off topic (a bit), but I just have to say that the simple fact that you can press ctrl+v to paste an image from the clipboard here is worth the migration, just for that feature alone! Very many thumbs up!

                  But on a sad note, old postings that link to other postings on the Community still have the old links (which of course don’t work). Since the new links are just a slight permutation of the old, would it be terribly difficult (for the admins, of course) to migrate all of them with some sort of script?

                  Example old link: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16876/stuck-in-administrator-mode-how-to-get-out/ (doesn’t work)

                  Example new link: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/16876/stuck-in-administrator-mode-how-to-get-out/

                    It really just needs a server-side redirect on the old server. I think something like should work:

                    Redirect /community https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org
                    

                    Anything that comes after the /community in the original URL will go after the .org of the new URL.

                    (At least, that’s the way it works on my webserver)

                      Whatever works; in my mind an actual text replacement would be better, but I am not “close” to these types of things, so I defer to greater knowledge. :)

                      There’s a lot of existing cross-linking that is very valuable IMO.

                        It would be better, in that it would be less load on the server. However, I don’t know how feasible or likely it is that a forum admin would edit thousands of links in forum posts, vs adding one line to the notepad-plus-plus.org .htaccess file. Besides, while editing would fix the forum cross-linking, there are probably lots of links out in the wild to specific forum posts; a redirect would allow those all to still work correctly.

                          With that explanation to round out my knowledge (I won’t go further in explaining my lack of understanding because it doesn’t really matter) I fully endorse that type of solution. :)

                          So… who can do it…add that one line? Are they listening?? :)

                            As far as I know, @donho holds the sole keys to the main website. (At least, I haven’t heard of anyone else who has access there.)

                              But Don rarely listens here…Peter, do you have his ear? Okay, so this isn’t a critical critical issue, but…

                                Unfortunately, his email ISP thinks my email ISP is a spam-site, so blocks my emails.

                                However, since he’s more likely to check his announcement-threads, I replied over there pointing to here.
