https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14045 Issue ID: 14045 Summary: Redo the forums entry page and links Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: Mac OS X Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: DMD Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: andrei erdani.com We need a few improvements to http://forum.dlang.org/: 1. Please remove the "digitalmars" prefix wherever appropriate, particularly for the main forums "digitalmars.D", "digitalmars.D.announce", "digitalmars.D.learn". The association with Digital Mars has only historical and logistics significance and nowadays is more confusing than anything. Just use "D", "D.learn", and "D.announce". This has been approved by Walter already (and obviously by me). 2. Please change the group links to the simpler http://forum.dlang.org/D, http://forum.dlang.org/D.learn, http://forum.dlang.org/D.announce. The "group" interstice has no use to anyone. 3. Also please make lowercase versions of the above redirect to their uppercase variants: http://forum.dlang.org/d, http://forum.dlang.org/d.learn, http://forum.dlang.org/d.announce. 4. The old links should continue to work by redirecting to the new links. 5. (Optional.) While at it I suggest we switch to a shorter and more uniform shorthand notation, e.g. using hashes.: http://forum.dlang.org/146b2b2c5af96fcf instead of http://forum.dlang.org/thread/m9s4cd$2s1v$1 digitalmars.com?page=4#post-xsdhwedlfetclszbhqmt:40forum.dlang.org --
