15- FOUND BROKEN LINKS

[edge]

OK, there are a lot of links that no longer work in the TIPS & HINTS section so I thought that when people do a search and find that old info we can post the results here and then the Tips can be updated or at least have the search criteria all in one place.


Someone recently asked for pressure trace loads by RB 5744 & H4198 Compared info.


To find this on the Old Board I searched for what I knew about these:
at least one: 4198 TRACE 5744
in threads created by: RBinAR
and when: between: start=2005-03-01 AND end=2005-09-02

Here is that search result:
dougva.proboards.com/search/results?who_threads_created_by=12&what_at_least_one=4198+TRACE+5744&when_between_start=2005-03-01&when_between_end=2005-09-02&display_as=1




Here is why things are as they are:


A lot of the links were corrupted when they upgraded from V4 to V4.5 and this upgrade is V5.
V5 can't fix links from V4 only V4.5!!!

I fixed the front page links so that the links go to the correct page EXCEPT this one:

13- ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS...USED ON THIS FORUM
dougva.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Savage&action=display&thread=1171527003


The OLD board used a timestamp to identify a post and the new version does not.

When you see a number like this 1171527003 in the link it will not work

Here are two links, the top won't work but the bottom one will:

13- ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS...USED ON THIS FORUM
dougva.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Savage&action=display&thread=1171527003

14- MISCELLANEOUS ( PRODUCTS, TOOLS, BARREL COOLER, ETC )
dougva.proboards.com/thread/4851/miscellaneous-products-tools-barrel-cooler

To find the post you would have to convert the timestamp to the time and date then search for it ( you can use something like this ( www.epochconverter.com/)
www.epochconverter.com/


Better yet if you know the title or actual phrases in the post you can just do a search.

OK so how does this work?

Lets say you are looking for something and the link is broken.

You do a search and you find what was in the Tips section.

Go down to the bottom of the TIPS page and the LAST entry is THIS THREAD ( 15- FOUND BROKEN LINKS).
Hit that link and it will bring you here.

Give us a short post on what you were looking for and either copy the link from your results or list ALL of your search criteria.
At some time either I will go and fix the links in the tips section OR people can hit the (15- FOUND BROKEN LINKS) link and see what others have been able to find.

This is about the best solution I can think of to help the broken link problem.
