Hello, hello!
Many of you are asking two questions.
1. Why do I get shoved onto "bleachgotei.forums.net" sometimes and then get logged off? 2. How do links work?
These two are at least partially, if not entirely, related to one another.
Many of you changed your links to bleachgotei.forums.net, which forces you to use that domain name and therefore breaks your login session (because your login session is attached to the domain name you logged in on). The best way to fix this?
Here's how old links look from IPB vs. how you can format your new links to go to the same thread. I'll use one of mine as an example.
The bottom-most example will still take me to my I Hate You thread with Mika AND it won't force me to any domain name in particular, allowing the default domain name to work as intended.
This is the best way to convert your links. I did my entire link list in three minutes using a quick Find and Replace in Notepad and then converting the first dash of the old links to a /.
always always always use relative links, it's good insurance for all manner of things
there's never any need to have http:// or indeed the domain name in a link unless you're linking to another website, in which case both are (obviously) mandatory
don't forget to lead your local links with a slash ( / ) to ensure everything works as it should
You go to bleachgotei.forums.net every time and then you login. Then, when you go somewhere else, the board forces you to www.bleach-gotei.com because that's the new default domain. When that happens your browser goes "Oh, I was logged into bleachgotei.forums.net, not this one, so that means we're not logged in to anything here."
That's why it's always forgetting.
Change your bookmark and start using bleach-gotei.com and you should be fine unless you click a LINK that has bleachgotei.forums.net
That's why everyone needs to change their links to not includes the forums.net variant, otherwise they'll have that "I suddenly logged out!" issue.

Dumb question then, so link titles are the same on this website as on the previous one? Numbers/url naming system and all? I can literally just replace the beginning of my old links and not have to hard-re-link each one?
