Hey guys

Just forwarded my domain to point to Go - D and my new SM site. I have created a few pages and galleries, generally I am hoping the structure of the site is about right (but glad of any constructive criticism.) I have Loootttttttts more materials and pages to add yet but this will take many weeks and months of uploading and keywording. But I think you all may get the gist of what I am trying to achieve there.

Anyway my question is this for example on my 'birds' gallery (https://tonysparkes.smugmug.com/Photo-galleries/African-Birds) I still have my old smugmug name.smugmug url

On my 'mammals' gallery all is good and as expected (http://www.africanwildlifeandnaturephotographs.com/Photo-galleries/African-Mammals) cant seem to see if I have missed any gallery settings and a lot of my site pages are like any idea's or is it that I have only today pointed my domain name to Go - D?

Maybe I cant see for looking......:scratch:scratch

My site is http://www.africanwildlifeandnaturephotographs.com/

    In your menu change all the links to a relative link.

    Thanks for this. I never gave it much thought as I did ask this question at the very beginning of my trial period

    'Will my URL swap over automatically when I point my own website url to my new site" yes was the answer I got.

    Thanks for reminding me of this

    Your "About" menu link still has nickname link so will always use the nickname link . With relative
    links it remembers the last click, nickname or domain. You have secure, nickname, and non-secure,
    domain, links so not sure what will happen when you go between them with relative links.

    I have contacted SM support directly and they are looking at this.

    I had three menu buttons that I could switch to relative. I had to pick the actual gallery link,
    not what shows in the drop. Make sure it shows custom URL in the one box.
