Redirect on Cyber Nations forums?


Instr

Recommended Posts

In the game, clicking on community links to www.cybernations.net/forums , which then redirects to forums.cybernations.net

Is this the intended behavior, or should the link be changed to forums.cybernations.net?

It's intended. If you look in the actual HTML, you'll see why. Obviously difficult to do at the moment, so I'll try to summarize. Basically the sidebar doesn't link to absolute links, but relative to the domain. It only tacks on /link rather than linking the whole URL. It's simpler and more elegant from a code perspective, but does create this minor issue when linking to another domain. Overall better to have it this way and keep the cleaner code, I think.

It's intended. We've changed forums a few times over the years and I found that this was the easiest way to change the URL when the forum URL changed. I could have done it other ways but this option seems to work fine.
