As the old wavecom forums are still accessible through direct links, posting should be disabled for all users there!

(yes, people are still posting there)

Also, all links in existing posts will take you to the old forum; so anyone who does a search - even on the new forum - and then follows a link, is going to end up on the old forum.

So, in addition, all links to the old forum need to redirect to the new one!

This is really annoying! 😠

Please will someone at Sierra Wireless urgently at least make the old forum read-only - and, preferably, redirect all links to the new forum!
