I do wonder why they couldn't "just" support both old and new URL paths using something like this:

    RewriteRule "^/+new_path/+(.+)$" /advert/$1 [L]
... for each "new url path" (as, granted, they had quite a few which matched "advert".

... but that's also something they could again fix with another RewriteRule, I guess?

    RewriteRule "^(.*)/+new_path/+(.+)$" $1/advert/$2 [L]
... would've worked just as well?
