I have a series of threads which I have included in my favorites for reference.  Now when I attempt to retrieve them, I end up on the General Forum Page.  

Please tell me I have not lost this wonderful reference library.

Thanks again for all the work,

Robert

The format of the links changed... the threads are [b]NOT[/b] lost...

A quick way to fix it is to edit the links in your favorites as follows:

Old link should look like this:
[URL]?id=XXXX  

New link should look like this:
[URL]?b=2&f=0&t=XXX

You can use the bogus string in the new link example and just replace the XXX in the second string with the original topic id. This will make all your old links functional.

I may find time to code a fix for all old links to carry over, but right now I am swamped with minor stuff.  [=(]

Share one of your old threads here and I'll show you the fixed version. =)

I'll TRY to code something to make them all work, but low on the list of fixes at the moment. [=(]

Ok no more need to worry, I coded a quick parser to handle the old style links for TOPICS ONLY. This means links to topics will now work, but links to forums will not.

=)

This will only work for links to AR15.Com links and not the Handgun or AK links... Sorry guys. [=(]
