I just said the **** with it, if a pic in a thread is linked to the original 1stClass header the pics still work just fine, and still works on many of my threads, but the ones that are linked to the other gold.mylargescale prompt, mostly on other sites, are just plain gonners, after all if a thread is past a certain date you can no longer edit it even if you wanted to go in and modify the pics in them. so thats that...





Burn them bridges and move on. Got better things to worry about than my old threads no one reads anymore.

I guess I am a little confused.... are not the HTML pages all collected in one place... namely the MLS space allocated to you? I guess if you have to compile HTML to some sort of non-text file then fetching the files from MLS, editing them and then replaceing the MLS files with the updated files is out of the question, but I thought HTML was just plain text.


I just decided to read through this thread.

The way I understand the problem is that the original links with "gold" in the URL are posted all over the net in locations other than MLS.


Since the http://gold.mylargescale.com/............. domain no longer exists, people clicking on those links or these links being called up automatically, don't go anywhere.

Changing the URL on the MLS server from gold to 1stclass does nothing unless one also changes the URL of all the gold links out there to 1stclass as well.


I got burned like that on MLS a few years ago when I was told by an MLS moderator to move my files on my MLS webspace into folders on my MLS webspace.

I did that and the next thing I know, none of the links to my MLS webspace that were out in the www worked anymore.


I just swore and sucked it up.

I don't know how MLS is set up on the host, but is gold.mylargescale.com not a sub-domain of mylargescale.com?
And is it then not possible to just set up forwarding from "gold" to 1stclass?

I do that now on my host, actually between totally different main domains and that works just fine.

AH HA! I had not thought of the images that are embedded in other forums where you cannot edit the code. I was thinking only of someone with a personal web site hosted on the MLS web space where they created the web pages themselves.

So before I begin the months-long process of manually editing my one hundred and forty seven individual webpages (yes, I counted!
is there any chance something can be put in place ...

Thanks Shad! ("gold" is working again!)
