Internal links in conversations that are made with BBC in the URL do not work. For example our chairmans message http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/F77636?thread=8244180 has several links of that nature. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A80173361 needs to be http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/A80173361 or simply A80173361 for it to work.

Hi AB
I know work's been done on the redirects - these now work for me. Do they work for you?

I've checked a few links made directly in Guide Entries and several embedded in conversations. All of them transcribed correctly.
The whole exercise seems to have been a huge success. 
Another thing I note is that some of those who got lost in the course of previous sign in changes, and subsequently took on a new ID now have two personal spaces. For instance AlsoRan now has AlsoRan1 U186829, and AlsoRan80. U12340544.
