Why did EI change the URL format of the profiles?
Now all my browser bookmarks screwed up and visited links all reset
Visiting the old links will say the profile is no longer active, which was initially confusing until I realized what was going on.
Profile URLs changed today

There was a software upgrade this morning, a number of things were changed. Will get the confusing thing you added onto the bugs list ASAP.
It has also broken the links in my "Guide". The old links don't generate an error, but they show everyone as "Not Currently Advertising". Can you arrange that the old style addresses, e.g. http://www.escort-ireland.com/5424/Emma/irish-escort.html redirect to the new style addresses, e.g. http://www.escort-ireland.com/498a2363064f4/Emma/irish-escort.html? If not then I will have to pull the "Guide".

“All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

The link to your guide in your sig doesn't work? Did we break this too?Originally Posted by El Gordo

Found your guide at https://www.escort-ireland.com/board.../8976-El-Gordo
Asking IT now...
The link to the guide is indeed broken, but is easily fixed. The real problem is that all the links in the guide are broken. There's no way for me to fix that because there's no longer any way to associate profile numbers with profile URL's.

Jesus guys - this stuff is elementary..

Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough.
Yes, a redirect would be the simplest and best solution to the problem. It would solve the problem of escorts whose personal sites link to their E-I reviews. If we can't have that then can we at least be told what the algorithm is for generating the new id's from the old ones? The IT people must know that, or they couldn't have made the change in the first place.
