Yes, fair enough, that is probably the most practical solution.

We believe we have a fix for the Safari problem, please try again in a few days. Meanwhile https://legacy.suttacentral.net/ is still there!

Google chrome mobile does not work well with discourse site.

The Discourse site has not changed at all. Only the way it looks has changed. If you want to revert back to the old theme, go to your Preferences --> Interface and change the theme to ‘SC legacy theme’ and press SAVE at the bottom.
Another thing you can do is find the app for Discourse in the Google playstore or iTunes and use that.

You can find any sutta by going to suttacentral.net and in the menu click on SUTTA, then select which collection you want (MIDDLE for MN), then click on ‘Majjhima Nikaya’. Then you will get a suttaplex list with all the MN suttas and you can select which one you want and which translation.
You can also refine the number of suttas you get by clicking on the right-arrow next to ‘Majjhima Nikaya’.
Hope this helps!
Oh that would be so great, thanks. Will keep checking. BTW, even though Discourse works, I can no longer bookmark posts (trying to save some that have tips for doign things since I’ll never remember). Guess I’m living in the wrong century (this time around)… I seem to be useless with anything technical…

Having a bunch of dead links out there on various forums and in bookmarks kind of scares me as a web guy.
Not only is it kind of bad user experience, but any sort of search engine “juice” (links, etc.) to those pages won’t flow anymore. And we all know, he who controls the spice…
Redirects shouldn’t be too hard, most webservers allow some redirect rules, but you’ll most likely have to use the dreaded regex. 40 languages is a lot of rules, I would imagine most links out there are English though, but 40 many times over makes for a kind of overwhelming config file… unless you have a regex wizard on hand — they could probably conjure something up.
Another suggestion if I may — a more useful/friendly 404 page. “Didn’t find what you’re looking for? Try this search function or browse the directory here”… something like that.

Yes, this is a known issue and we are working on it. We hope to roll that out in the next week.
You should be able to bookmark things by clicking on the three horizontal dots below the post and then the full menu (including the bookmark) should appear. Let me know if that works for you.
Google’s results won’t update themselves overnight. It’s not magic! Give things a few days to settle down.
Me too. Fixing this is our number 1 priority. Please be patient, it won’t take too long.

Now I’m craving an authenticity rating for each Sutta.
Thank you for keeping us informed about the timescale. Knowing that is important to people with dead links on their sites, so they can decide whether to wait, or modify the links.

Indeed. Don’t forget, we have the same issue here on D&D! I’d say that if someone has the ability to simply make changes in bulk with a regex, then go ahead. But if it’s a matter of changing things by hand, just wait, a fix is in the works. We really do appreciate your patience!

Thanks Ayya. That’s what I tried before I reported it. Is the bookmark, when you click it, suppose to turn color like previoulsy? Before it would turn color and say “you have bookmarked this post” (or something like that). Now nothing happens.
Thanks to all of you who are working on all these issues

I just tried it and yes, it changes color but not very visably. It becomes a slightly lighter shade of grey. But when you go to your bookmarks it is there.
But once you’ve bookmarked it and you hover over the bookmark symbol, it says: You have bookmarked this post.

well, worked this time though hadn’t before?? thanks again.
PS Growing up (decades ago) my family always kidded me as all watches and clocks stopped working on or close to me. Same thing still happens, can’t wear a watch and some alarm clocks work, most don’t (but they work fine for my husband in another room). Too weird…

You must have hidden magical powers

Ha ha, that’s exactly what David, my husband, says: “stay away from my computer” (or other such things). And often when I have trouble with my computer (which is in another room) I ask him for help and he tells me to go out of the room and he sits down to have a look and surprisingly the problem has disappeared and everything is working just fine… go figure.
Hope my ‘magical powers’ don’t extend long-distance or you’ll never get the bugs in the new site fixed
