Why not 301 redirect the old forum?

I tend to jump on and off various sites, scanning for items of interest during breaks in the day's activities; and I've noticed that (since the change) every time I come to this site, I have to log back in. I've gotten logged out during page changes a couple of times, too. Cookie issue?

Thank you for all of the work! This is wonderful and there certainly is a handsome fellow in my avatar picture again. Now to tweak my settings so I can read my replies as I am typing them.
EXCELLENT!

I'm getting a lot of stability problems running zonealarm... I also get a "This website is suspicious" message. Anyone else seeing these? It's probably a browser issue.

evening all. just logged on and read this thread. Looks good and the planned/suggested improvements sound like a good plan.
Going to explore a bit now and check my settings etc.
thanks for the hard work!
edit/add-- well, I've noticed that I'm not receiving email notifications from threads I'm subscribed to. I've tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing, hope that fixes it.
Also an FYI to those with links to other threads - those links will need to be updated to the new forum location for the relevant thread.

Yup, still lots of work to be done - good point on the links.. Hmmm, that one might be tricky - I'll see what the options are.
It was a shame that we could not renew the old forum url, would have made things easier. It's a tad technical but it has to do with the fact that for a subdomain to be attached to SBG it needs to be able to use 'cpanel', and only a handful of places can do it (such as our previous shared server at bluehost) so we had to break away and go independent. I chose the forum name 'sword-forum' simply because it was available and, well, that is what we are.
I hear you on the thread titles - will see what I can do. And a link back to the main site is in the works.
I'm sure I missed something, let me know guys - we will try to do it in one hit if at all possible.
- Paul

The hard work is much appreciated, Paul. My only complaints are that the page feels too cramped (lot of space being wasted on the sides), which is, admittedly, a minor nitpick and then the issue with the pictures.

Congratulations, Paul. I know that getting speed with this many users on a budget isn't easy.
I do agree with those that are asking for a wider format (keeping the test size the same, so more text per line). I don't think that will impact your server appreciably.
Also, the T-shirts are now going to be some slick speedy fabric, bright white, and just say "sword-forum" in blue, right? I mean, who wants an outdated T-shirt?

Thanks for all the hard work, I actually kind of like the white look but if it changes I won't kick, this place has given me too much for me to ever complain about it. Now to get a T-shirt or two...

Everything looks good so far, thanks for all the hard work!
Only issue I've run into is having to log back in every time I visit... it doesn't seem to be keeping the login information cookies or something. I also agree about widening the view, like many folks I'm on a widescreen so there's a ton of wasted space on the sides. Both very minor issues that I'm sure will be worked out soon, in the meantime I love being able to flit about from post to post with the speed of a whirling blade! :D

Oh, don't sweat it. I used to make websites for a living, and I've never seen everything come together in one go.

What would be helpful are link chains either above or to the left that allow you to immediately navigate to the forum you were browsing after posting a reply, instead of using the back button or having to go back through the board index.
