Some of the external links in Help pages point to outdated or missing pages.

I wonder whether we should hijack this bug for fixing the links on the initial Help page (since the bug is otherwise a bit unspecific): chrome://communicator/locale/help/welcome_help.xhtml 1. Troubleshooting Is now a 404. Existing alternatives: * https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/FAQ (+) specific to SM (+) under our control and easy to update (-) is a FAQ, not really troubleshooting info * http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting (+) contains rather generic troubleshooting info (-) advertises FF (-) is subject to change / not under our control * http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.1/#troubleshooting (+) specific to SM (+) under our control (-) version-specific * http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/troubleshooting/ (+) specific to SM (-) not under our control (-) not updated anymore, probably outdated 2. PluginDoc Outdated, should be http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ instead (even if it advertises FF; also linked from the AOM).

(In reply to neil@parkwaycc.co.uk from comment #4) > >+ <p><strong><a href="http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.1/#troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></strong></p> > As you're the website owner I assume you chose this version for a reason ;-) Yeah, it was among those with the most pros, and then I decided to favor what is actually about troubleshooting, as the link label suggests. Meanwhile I've slightly changed my mind again: We can do better. Instead of hard-coding a (section of a) page from an old release, we can hard-code a more generic page and let our website redirect to the page I suggested until we change our mind and create the page for real or move it elsewhere. :-) added redirect for troubleshooting link from SeaMonkey Help Checking in src/.htaccess; /www/seamonkeyproject-org/src/.htaccess,v <-- .htaccess new revision: 1.28; previous revision: 1.27 done # flexible solution for hard-coded link in SeaMonkey Help Redirect temp /doc/troubleshooting http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.1/#troubleshooting
