Bioequivalence and Bioavailability Forum

Dear all,

EMA reinvented the wheel and followed FDA's last year's bad example of redesigning their website without automatic redirects.
Whilst it took FDA a couple of months, EMA changed the entire site over night. Hurray!
The FAQ-page states:

Q: I have many of your links bookmarked, what will happen if I click on these links now?
A: Since its establishment in 1995, the document and web page URLs on the Agency website have been changed several times. With this latest change the URLs on the new website are completely different. Therefore if you have old URLs bookmarked you need to update them with the new URL. As part of the redevelopment work, redirects have been applied to the URLs of old content. This means that you will be automatically redirected to new equivalent. If no redirect has been applied you will be sent to the homepage from where you can either search or browse for the information you require.

That's whishful thinking.

F.i. Multidisciplinary Guidelines
old:
http://www.ema.europa.eu/htms/human/humanguidelines/multidiscipline.htm --> HTTP-Error 404 (Not found), no redirect, no link to a search page, plain nothing.
new:
http://www.emea.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/regulation/general/general_content_000086.jsp&murl=menus/regulations/regulations.jsp&mid=WC0b01ac058002754a

Really funny. The 'Application Guidance on Scientific Advice, Revision 6' quoted in this post was published last week; now it's gone with the wind.

Most of the 70+ links in the guideline-collection are corrected,
but almost all links in the forum are broken.

Broken links in the guideline-collection are marked by an asterisk* - don't click on these links in the meantime; you would end up in electronic nirvana.

EMA's e-mail news service will be discontinued in the near future.
A set of -Feeds is available instead.
