I'll be making some changes to the web sites directory structure over the next few weeks, just to clean it up a bit. One area I want to move is the forum. Its currently at www.thebackshed.com/windmill/forum1, and I plan to change this to www.thebackshed.com/forum. Doing so will mean a few changes to the database and how the web sites finds member posts and uploads, so it could take an hour or two. Once finished, it should be as though nothing changed, and the web site will know how to find the new forum posts from an old address, eg www.thebackshed.com/windmill/forum1/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233 &PN=1 will automatically be redirected to www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PN=1
This means any external links and google searches will still find the correct post in the new location.

I'll have to shut down the forum while its happening, if you see the forum offline message, call back in an hour.

Hi Glenn,

The breadcrumb "Forum Index" still point to an old path (duplicate page link).
