Or has the traffic to this site significantly diminished since the change?

I just looked at the graph:

The last day is today, which of course isn't over yet, so it's too low. We're a little lower than a few weeks ago, but there wasn't a sudden drop. Maybe there's a longer, slower drop happening?

Wasn't it www.scienceforums.net before, and now it's scienceforums.net?

Such a change has a devastating effect on search engine rankings.

All links that search engines have ever recorded are now redirects.

robots.txt differs between URLs:

https://scienceforums.net/robots.txt

https://www.scienceforums.net/robots.txt

Sitemap from 1st is providing to http://www.scienceforums.net/sitemap.php

I'd change it to https://scienceforums.net/sitemap.php

i.e. http -> https and have them on the same domain name.

All the links on sitemap here:

https://scienceforums.net/sitemap.php

are with http instead of https

and are with www.scienceforums.net

so are all redirects..

Hmm. The AdminCP won't let me change the sitemap URL settings, I think due to a bug. I'll have to ask Invision to look into it.
