Topic: Forum config tweak

I tried to guess the URL for the DiF forums on my phone, entered http://downinfront.net/forums , and got a fairly useless error message that didn't even have DiF branding on it.

I then changed that to http://downinfront.net/forum , and found that it comes here, a site with the heading:

down in front | forums

Note the outrageous clash between singular and plural, which has confused me no end.

No End, I tell you!

Might I humbly suggest that, since you appear to be running Apache, you use the magic of aliases, or even mod_rewrite, to capture any references to http://downinfront.net/forums and bounce them transparently to .../forum automatically.

For Great User Experience, et cetera.

<mode=hodgman>You're welcome.

Re: Forum config tweak

Done.

Actually, on that note, we should make a 404 page.
