Is the domain going to stay as boardstest.straightdope.com?

[Mangetout]

If not, what will happen to inter-thread links people are posting right now, that use it in the URL?

Eh? I'm using boards.straightdope.com/sdmb and not being redirected anywhere.

The old url started working again like the day after the switch. Give it a shot.

If you start with boardstest.straightdope.com then any links you click from there will point to that same domain. That won't ever change (until they take it down, of course).

I think Mangetout is talking about links people add to their posts, like this one (http://boardstest.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=482120).

I like the boardtest address. The filters at work aren't set up to block it.

When I type boards.straightdope.com into my browser, I am promptly redirected to boardstest.straightdope.com

I'm guessing that's a mistake since http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/ doesn't redirect you and that's what the link on the Straight Dope Homepage takes you to. I'm assuming Jerry just forgot to change the pointer.

I'll get the homepage link fixed since that seems to be the culprit.
