Unfortunately, i misinterpreted the original concept as still requiring including the document relative file paths. As a result, yes, the links do still function, but i am guessing - i still do not know or quite understand how - that these may be causing at least some of the hundreds of 404s we are still seeing. Some appear to be old legacy links from the previous website. I have 301 redirected these and am currently removing the '../' indicators from everywhere in the website, including navigations, image links, and document links. | |
