@eric nielsen - I've been checking native links we have loaded in our redirect table and completed searches on Google. Google has other crawled links that will not resolve due to an additional attribute connected to the URL. I believe ESXi, Fusion and Workstation will need delta runs.

Hi Eric,
I would like to report that
https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Aria-Automation-Tools/vRA-8-x-Display-Owner-by-Name-not-only-username/m-p/2949466
also does not redirect as it should, it just goes to the communities home page. Can that be fixed?
Thanks,
Ze'ev

Hi,
Thanks for the bug report, I am tracking this one down, we do have most redirects working as of Thursday night. I was able to find your post in the new platform:
https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/discussion/cpu-usage-doesnt-match
The thread on communities.vmware.com URL was slightly different:
https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/CPU-usage-doesn-t-match/m-p/2179546
But for some reason on this one, the re-direct is not resolving, this is the first one I've tested that has failed. Others I've tested on google have been resolving, so I will see if I can determine why this one isn't to see if I can find others that aren't resolving.
Sorry your experience has been bad, this is the third migrations I've been involved with. This one has 5 milllion members, Millions of threads so each time it has been challenging. In 2006 we migrated from Jive forums to Jive Clearspace, we were down for 2 months, and page loads averaged 30 seconds for first 1/2 year (Mendel and Dianne Greene were in my office daily). In 2016 we migrated again, from Jive to Khoros, we were down for 2 weeks and were slow for 3 weeks. This time we have migrated to a new platform and merged 3 large communities (Carbon Black, Pivotal & VMTN) and although never easy, it's a week and pages are loading. The VMware community is one of the largest, only second to CNN, getting 75K users a day in on the platform.
Hopefully by the end of week 2, we will have some fast links in place for discussions and we will have cleaned up most of the performance issues and content migration issues.
Thanks for reporting bugs, and helping us through the project.
-eric

Hello!
Since "new" community is a complete disaster (from my personal user experience), I'd like to point out that old links like "https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/CPU-usage-doesn-t-match/td-p/2179546&ved=2ahUKEwiSxa7p2IKGAxW4h_0HHaBdAmsQFnoECBcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1Y8Lmq51QQcU1-a9ngkmoV" are redirecting just to the start page, and I'm unable to find the topic with "new" community.
So, please provide the way to find "old" community posts.
Best regards,
Evgenii Daniliuk.
