You shouldn't really notice anything when browsing the guide, but I've decided to move it onto its own subdomain for technical reasons.

It now lives at guide.travellerspoint.com . There are a lot of URLs internally in the guide pointing to the old location. A little tricky to resolve technically as they are cached that way. But they should all redirect to the correct new location when clicked on.

Let me know if you notice any issues navigating through the guide.

I'm surprised no one had claimed that subdomain for a blog!

Ah, heh, no, I see there's a user with username "guide" who - I think - by their existence prevented the subdomain from being picked by anyone else, but as they've been inactive since registration in 2005, they probably won't mind that their claim for the subdomain is now gone... :)

Anyway, all redirects seem to be working fine from what I've tested. :)

Is there any chance of the issue of the Travel Planner not recognizing most cities being resolved? This flaw is currently rendering the Travel Planner unusable. Thanks.

Hmm yes, let me have a look at that.

I can't seem to acess the guide. Not by clicking the 'community travel guide' button in the menu, and clicking on the above link also redirects to the main page. Been this for days. What can I do? Or am I missing something?

That is very strange. Could you try in a new private/incognito window? If that works, what happens if you try to visit a non-existing page on the guide in your main browser window, e.g. https://guide.travellerspoint.com/lksjflksjdflkdsjf/? Does that also redirect to the homepage, or does that show the "Oops, that guide doesn't exist" 404 page?

I will try that at my Ipad, as I have the option to try a private window. Not on my work windows laptop though.

Clicking on the page results in the latter, so 'Oops' indeed...;) (at my laptop)

Okay, and if from the oops you click on "start the article", do you get the "Create a New Article" page? If so, there should be a thumb-trail in the top left corner. If you click on "Travel Guide" there, do you get to the homepage for the Guide?

If after those steps you now see the homepage, then I suspect the guide links in Peter's post and in the main menu will also work, and whatever was blocking you from seeing the guide before has been flushed from your browser's configuration.

If during any of those steps you get the main travellerspoint homepage instead, then you're looking at some very aggressive caching by your work / your browser, which is probably out of Peter's control to fix.
