Nexus URL change broke all links to nexus on the internet.

[orbenn]

As I'm sure some of you have noticed, URLs to skyrim mods on nexus used to be of the format:
skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/[modnumber]

Now they are of the format:
nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/[modnumber]


This has caused every link on the internet that references a mod for skyrim to break.
Web team: please add a redirector for the old URL format so that old links are not broken!


Thanks

Not just skyrim http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2982784-how-to-fix-all-the-broken-links/

you can use greasemonkey or tampermonkey to temp fix the links until nexus manage to fix their dns stuff.

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Redirect skyrim nexusmods
// @namespace   Nix
// @description nexus domain change fix
// @include     http://*.*
// @include     https://*.*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", replaceLinks, false );

if( document.readyState === "complete" ) {
    replaceLinks();
}

function replaceLinks() {
    Array.forEach( document.links, function(a) {
        a.href = a.href.replace( "skyrim.nexusmods.com", "nexusmods.com/skyrim" );
    });
}

this works fine for skyrim and is easily adapted for other games.
