Site migration status and updates

This may have been mentioned previously but links from the old site to the new aren't translating properly (i.e., google search will show several hits, but the links are broken)
 
One minor oddity I've found is that if I click on the "Rangefinderforum.com" at the very top of the page, it does go back to the front page, but it also logs me out. (but not all of the time...)
 
I've noticed that forum posts that link to a RFF gallery image display a "?" only. This leaves a lot of blank image posts in threads such as "Words/No Words". Images linked to an external site display ok though.
 
The only real problem I've encountered has been with ad blockers and there is a strange glitch with the gallery drop down menu when using Safari but Firefox and Edge are perfect and I don't really like Chrome anyway. I haven't really been here at all for the last couple of years or so, so this is very new but I will add I really like it and it is a huge improvement! (y):)
 
Rest my password, but now when I go to the Classifieds it identifies every ad as Posted by me???, doesn't show photos, and also has "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.".

Thank you for all of your hard work. I had no problems moving over. The only thing I have noticed is that the links from google searches are not working.

I think I resolved most of these.

foir example, old link from google:

Leica MP spring reverb

Well, I did it. Despite having two perfectly functional M6 cameras (both with their viewfinders upgraded), the little worm inside my brain made me buy my first MP. New from Leica Store. My first new Leica equipment. Although the camera works fine, it didn't take me long to notice something...

I must have missed an announcement or something, but are the Gallery and Classifieds working now? I keep seeing thread postings where someone is obviously using these two features though all I get are error notices saying the page cannot be loaded or I have to reload it which of course doesn't work either (I'm using Edge as the browser, and the AdBlocker is off). And yeah, it would be nice if one could edit a thread later than the limit now imposed.

Yes ... I'm still getting this occasionally on Firefox and Edge both with ad blockers off. Most of the time the gallery and classifieds open but not always ... there are bugs to sort out yet obviously!

I get the same error with Firefox (Release 109.0 - macOS) 👎

Safari browser (macOS) and the DuckDuckGo app browser (iOS) work fine. (y)
 
Found out there is a difference between setting the Edge AdBlocker to Pause and completely shutting it off. I had to do the latter in order to access the Gallery Portal and Classifieds. The Gallery feed at the top of the Forum page finally started working too after a couple of page changes, but when I get rid of the "Show Only Unread" button the Gallery feed disappears from the top of the page only to be replaced with an "Oops" message stating the page could not be found. Also when I go from the first page of the Forums threads to the second or subsequent pages the Gallery feed will disappear and I get the "Oops" message.

Can confirm sometimes (on my iPhone with Firefox browser), the gallery views vanish after a few pages and spots an error (the requested page could not be found). But below the threads are there (of the next page).
