Has anyone ever heard of this. When I setup a 30 redirect, it creates an error on my site's signup sheet. When someone types in their info on my signup sheet it give them an error and i never receive theor info. I know its directly linked to the 301 redirect because when I delete the 301 code from my htaccess file the issue goes away.

Please advise!

You'll probably need to set up an exception in the redirect to not apply to the form or script URL.

Make sure that the form is calling the right "version" of the script: www or non-www as required.

The POST operation can't usually operate through a redirect.

hi friends,
301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".

hey mod
a paste from a info site that tells how to redirect from their engine:

A URL may contain commands that "redirect" the crawler to a different URL. This may be done with the HTML command:

< META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.your page address here.html" >

never underestimate how dumb people like me are.

you are very technical, and that is cool. most just want a suggestion on what to insert into different places.

so I suggest this kind of help desk.
If they do not even know where to put this script, who cares.

sometimes I ask dumb stuff just to see if anyone is listening.

That's a meta refresh redirect. The page returns a 200 OK status and that meta data within the page content. The browser implements that redirect.

A 301 redirect is issued by the server. The server sends the HTTP Status Code of 301 and the URL of where to go to get the new content.
