I restored the redirection, please let me know if all work as expected.

RedirectMatch 301 ^/community/(.*)$ https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/$1

With the move to the new host, this rewrite rule apparently didn’t get migrated. That means there are hundreds of links in the forum that use the old linking URL that now go to 404-not-found instead of the right place in the forum. (When I did a forum search, it was listing at least 500 posts that have links with the old-style URL)

Is this rewrite rule something that you have the ability to do at the new host? If so, could you do it?

If not, I can work on a script that will do a one time scan through the database, and fix all the old-style links to new-style links.

Why do you need to verify your email address?

I seem to be unable to verify my email address. I’ve requested an email verification link more than once, and the verification email does not arrive. I’ve done this both with a Gmail address, and then after that didn’t work for a day or so, I requested to change the email address to a personal domain that I have hosted on Microsoft 365 Business (the domain has existed for twenty years, and receives hundreds of messages a day). I’ve checked the spam/junk folders on both Gmail and the Exchange-hosted domain, and I’ve run an Exchange message trace. It really seems that no email is being sent (or, that it’s failing for some reason before it ever reaches either Gmail or Microsoft-hosted Exchange).
How do I contact the forum administrators (here, I guess/hope) to try to get my email address verified? It seems that until I manage to do that, I won’t receive email notifications of replies to threads that I post/follow. (Or, the same is happening to those email messages, they’re getting silently lost).
thanks!

I have the same problem.

Yeah, click response is much faster now!

The only disadvantage of the new forum is that the browser needs to send the referrer in order to allow the forum to work correctly. Since this is a global setting I have to turn it on all the time.

Last week, we added some nginx rate limiting to resolve the issues with performance it seems those rules were too strict and was causing real users to experience slow downs. 

I have changed those settings, let me know if you still notice lag when switching pages. 

It seems the problem has been solved!

Since this morning I can see that my online status (the dot in my avatar icon displayed besides my comments) is green even when I’m logged out. That means the system considers me to be logged in though the toolbar in the upper right corner shows “Log in” instead of my avatar icon and I can not comment.

When loggin in or out I get constantly the “connection lost” messages, sometimes the site reloads automatically.

This new forum software seems to be very buggy. :-(

Still facing performance issues. A few minutes ago I even had to re-login after a “Connection lost” message appeared.

if such situation lasts.

24+ hours later, It’s still occurring. Sometimes, as @dinkumoil said in the other thread, the page auto-reloads while it’s having the issue. And, even worse for me, sometimes when it reloads, it switches to a different page, rather than the last one I was on! (In fact, while writing this post, behind the editing window, it switched from the topic I was responding to back to the unread posts page that I had come from.

edit fortunately, when I hit submit, it posted to the right topic. I wasn’t sure if it would or not.

No, it’s not a bad feeling, I’m facing the same problem. For example, upvoting your post took 5 seconds until the upvote count has been incremented to 1.

if all work as expected.

So far, so good. Following an old link into the old forum URL will redirect to the new; and I was able to follow the download links on the main site. So, at least for me, it’s working.

He appears to have made a return appearance:

It’s more complicated than the code you provided:

Sorry, I probably had some of the Rewrite* stuff already defined elsewhere in my .htaccess, and didn’t realize it was required for making it work.

Thanks for the extra effort, and getting the redirect working!

successfully redirects (for me!) to:

now! Nice!
