We have latterdaysaintschannel.org, but when I checked it it is resolving to a page with some memes that all have a domain name that does not exist and is unregistered rendering any sharing of the memes useless since if someone went to the domain shown, it would not go anywhere but throw a not found error..

It should be resolving to saintschannel.churchofjesuschrist.org, but it goes to that old subpage instead.

I go there and immediately, I'm taken to

Code:

The results seem fine to me.

You might want to try incognito mode just in case it's the cookies again.

Tried incognito mode in Firefox, said ;an error occurred', internal style page like one you would get when anything else screwed up on churchofjesuschrist.org and would not display a URLs content's properly

I tried Firefox, Firefox Private Window, Chrome, Brave, Edge and they all resolved exactly like russellhltn described.

So, to be sure, does latterdaysaintschannel.org point to the saintschannel.churchofjesuschrist.org main page if all is normal? That is the specific outcome I was expecting when using latterdaysaintschannel.org.

Different, and the content is different, but general idea is similar.

That is also what I saw once, that different content URL, the URL in almost all of the memes is not the same either and apparently does not exist but latterdaysaintschannel.org does exist, should really go to saintschannel.churchofjesuschrist.org, not the subpage you and I both saw.

Because the two pages have similar content, it's possible they're in the process of consolidating them, but haven't copied everything over from one to the other yet.

t is possible, because the incorrect domain on the memes was put on them before the domain was acquired (the one without the hyphen) and was supposed to be the one that went live 18 months ago. Odd that they haven't got all the things under one roof yet after that amount of time.

I can't think of any *.churchofjesuschrist.org that doesn't immediately re-direct to something under churchofjesuschrist.org

True, but this is another top-level domain that should point to the page on the churchofjesuschrist.org that it was created for. So latterdaysaintschannel.org should point to saintschannel.churchofjesuschrist.org, rather than as now it points to a subpage on the Saints Channel website.

That was how the page before the name changes worked. mormonchannel.lds.org pointed to radio.lds.org originally, that was a unique domain created to point to that, was used in a lot of things, bulletin board postings, cards, other things.

I plsn tto use QR codes extensively in personal missionary efforts on the member-missionary side, so I want to be sure anything with the domain actually goes to the Saints Channel website, and having latterdaysaintschannel.org point right at the primary page on the church website so people will go to it using latterdaysaintschannel.org and the domain mask would take care of the rest

Hehe, how about tech.churchofjesuschrist.org? I also found these subdomains, cdol, tm, jesuschrist, newsroom, store, providentliving, gcn, lcr don't redirect to the parent domain. There's probably more.

Heh, I did say I couldn't think of any. Not that there isn't any. :oops:

But the fact remains, saintschannel.churchofjesuschrist.org appears to be a re-direct, not a "destination" site.
