Difficulty connecting to previous posts through links.

:confused: I've been spending quite a bit of time reading current and previous posts on the forum, many times accessed by picking a member whose posts interest me and going through the "Members list" to find all posts by that member. One problem I've been having is that many times a post will have a link to a previous forum thread, for example, this one (not sure why I can't get it to be active for this post)

http: //www.uniquecobra.com/showthread.php?t=6786

and when I click on it I consistently just get a MS notice that the looks like this:
__________________________________________________ _______________

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Please try the following:

Open the www.uniquecobra.com home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Back button to try another link.

This doesn't happen when I try to connect to a web link, like this one:

http://www.veesportracing.com/remote_brake_bias_adj_3.htm

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or, is it possible that some of these posts are old enough that new server/software incompatabilities might exist?

Thanks, guys. There is sooOOO much info on this forum that a guy could spend months and never get it all read, but that hasn't kept me from trying.

I don't know Doug. Sometimes photos are missing from old topics but I haven't had problems like this before. Maybe Patrick will chime in.....

I can answer that. The forum software was installed in a non-standard way when first deployed. I fixed that during the last upgrade and broke the links. There is a way to fix it but it will take a couple of days. I basically need to do a search and replace of all the posts and add insert /forums into the URL.

Thanks, Patrick. No hurry for me--I've found plenty to keep me busy!

It's unbelievable that I was even close when I predicted software incompatability. You would not believe what a computer dummy I am--every hard drive and mother board I destroy just further convinces me I need to try to figure out what all those other buttons do :o .
