481055 - hook up external arrows for mozillamessaging.com

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Rafael Ebron (:rebron)]

Need to add "external arrows" to mozilla.com for links pointing to mozillamessaging.com

Comment 1

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

We should probably also change the links that pointed to pages now redirected in bug 480373) to point to their new URLs, rather than rely on the redirect indefinitely.

Comment 2

[Alex Buchanan [:abuchanan]]

Do we have any example of "external arrows"?  

John, is this a style we want to use and stick to?

We should do this for all externals links or none, so this probably isn't specific to mozillamessaging.com.  IMHO, we should wontfix this.

External arrows can be seen on the (current) footer of Mozilla.com (pretty much every link under "Community," there.

Ah!  Thank you.  I see we already do this for a lot of links, so it is pretty specific to mozillamessaging after all.

Those don't exist in the new design though...

[John Slater]

Yeah, we didn't build these class=external arrows into the new design. I don't see any particularly compelling reason to keep them around, so I'm tempted to mark this as WONTFIX. Anyone disagree?

[Laura Forrest]

Nope. Marking as WONTFIX.
