Default Re: Broken links to old forum

Arkcon, I do occasionally browse EM, and its really good.

However, I'm talking about posts I made like this:

for next update.

I was using that thread as a central location to keep track of other good threads to be included in the FAQ. I really have no idea what that link refers to. I didn't think I needed to put any more tracking information since I was linking within this forum. I'm sure that the posts I made like this, in the thread mentioned above, were really good for incorporation into the FAQ.

There are broken links in a few other threads that I was keeping track of too. In some of the cases, yeah, I can get the context and do a search.

I guess I was hoping that there was some cross reference capability or a method to use the old topic number such as t=011092 above to at least get the message subject/title. That's all I would really need. I could then use the forum search function to go from there.


edit: Thanks, Annette & Mindi... forgot my manners. I PM'd Richard.
