Independent Newspaper breaks all permalinks?

I really, REALLY, REALLY hope I’m wrong, but it looks as though the redesign of the Indy website has broken all the links to News Articles.

About 20 links I’ve put in in the last 7 days no longer work.

If they have done that without redirecting, they will probably be dropped from the roundup.

Please could others blog about this - it is serious.

Links to columns appear to still work.

They probably didn’t plan their new desi

It will break all the ones from the BBC and all the rest, too.

Ooops. Typo.

They probably didn’t plan the migration to their new design thoroughly enough.

It’s not just blogs. It will break all the ones from the BBC and all the rest as well - anything that links where the pages used to be.

The Times put a forwarding redirect on pages they move.

I that blogs probably link to them more than anything else, though.
