I Don't Know How To Tell You This!
But, I discovered another thing that I never knew about the other day while approving and replying to comments I had received.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed that when you change over a site you had as a siterubix to a domain that you have then bought, unless you change your profile on your dashboard then your url when you comment remains as your siterubix one and not your new domain name.
I have had to go through all my comments that I have replied to when approving them and change them from the siterubix url to my new own domain. This therefore stops any 404's.
I have noticed sometimes when doing a link check that I get a few bad hosts and it is not my own urls or emails that are wrong but people who have left me comments. I am now wondering if this could be one of the reasons it happens.
Please let me know if you have "Bad Hosts" on any of your comments that show up as siterubix.com rather than just .com for my site and I will gladly go and change it for you.
I just wanted you all to know this as it gives you a chance to check your comments if you have changed from a siterubix.com to your own bought domain.
I hope everyone has had a great weekend and a really good Easter. Lets all

I never either Sandy, I came across it by chance. I thought if I changed it on my profile it would change them automatically but unfortunately if doesn't change the older ones. xxx
You're welcome Stuart and thought it was only right to let people know and make them aware just in case. xxx
Thanks Stuart and very much so. I do like to share these things as you never know who may have the same problem. xxxx

Hello Tracey
siterubix.com is what goes on your site name if you use a free site from WA.
I had a nice quiet easter. As my lot are older they don't bother about Easter but I did get an Easter Egg from Hayley but not till Monday night as she was at her boyfriends. xxxx
Hi Cheryl
So that's the site that sets up the word when you send a message? Or is it just me and not concentrating.
Tracey
Thanks, Cheryl. This is good to know. I have never had any comments before I changed my sites from siterubix so I've never had to deal with this issue, but I am glad to have read your post in the event that it should happen at some point.
Best wishes,
Karin :)
You are welcome Karin and that’s good to know for you. If you commented on anyone else’s it could also be the same. Xxx
Thanks for the reminder Cheryl. I changed my site last week and never thought about changing it on my profile.
Done now.
Sonny
Hi Sonny, you are very welcome and if I hadn't noticed it on my comments I wouldn't have thought about it either. Now I need to go through all my posts and check them.
Now following you and wishing you all the best on your journey here at WA. xxxx

Interesting... Will definitely be useful info for some.
Thanks Isabella and you are right, it will be. I know I had no idea about it until I was replying to comments. xxx
