Index of Subjects Hi David, Now I'm finding matters troublesome. The whole idea of developing a new homepage at Chebucto was to direct ALL traffic to it - members and casual users alike, as well as web and text-based users. If people wanted to stay with the old homepage, than they could reset their bookmarks to it, not the other way around. The Chebucto link on all our IP sites should also be linked to the new web homepage not the old site. Otherwise, why was the new homepage developed in the first place ? Many of these organizations have significant traffic which should be directed to our new web site not to the old one. Many of the Editors have already been setting up links to the new homepage, your move forces them to make readjustments once again and this will further confuse some of our IPs. Could you please clarify for me what it is you're trying to do with this move ? As you've set it up, atleast as I understand it, no choice is actually being offer, it's stick with the old, and oh yeah, we now have this new site you might check out.
