Ok, so it was brought to the Administrator's attention late Monday night that when you go to access any Trash forum on the site you get redirected to Wastland...

In discussing the issue over with DK, and coming up stumped, the best solution is that we are going to TRASH THE TRASH!

I know for some of you oldies this stinks and those of you more recent posters. Whereas you may not be able to view your threads in the Trash bins I can from the Administrator CP. So heres the deal:

You can reply to this post with the thread name which you have a STRONG desire for me to save. I can shuffle things about and do my best to preserve them.

For me this means one by one I need to delete all of the bins and one by one create new ones. NOT FUN...hence, there isa deadline.

BY FRIDAY DECEMBER 4, 2009 ALL THREADS DESIRED TO BE SAVED MUST BE REPORTED TO ME!

This weekend I will wipe all the Trash bin forums FOREVER!.

Sorry we had to do this but this is the easiest and most appropriate path.

Questions, comments or concerns feel free to PM me

UPDATE: Tonight I realized three things:

1. Clicking on the trash bins took you to Wasteland or the Moderator Forum
2. Certain forums did not redirect at all except to where they should.
3. Nuking the trash forums necessary and replacing them did not solve the problem

So, the forums that redirected where they needed to were saved. Unfortunately, I can not undo the deleting of the other forums that lost all the threads in the trash bins. Dk, Tarsha and I are once again collaberating and regrouping in the hopes of solving this problem efficiently. We believe it may be a problem with the updates to vbSeo. We will keep you updated upon discovering the cause of this problem and the solution.

Thanks for your patience

Is the concern the Trash bins for each respective forum or is it the Forum Graveyard? Just wondering to make sure if I will need to save any old stories or not.

No, this has nothing to do with the Forum Graveyard. As of right now I have not made the attempt at adding a few of them back and testing it because it does not apply to the immediate site. Also, conisdering the fact all of the IC forums are doing this I can conclude that it will probably do the same.

So, the trash bins for those forums in the graveyard are still there and have not been touched.

Since we believe the problem may be with vbSeo we are going to attempt shutting it down to see if that solves the problem. Thanks for the patience everyone!
