Broken links

[jrs]

With the change to the new forum software, I've discovered a number of broken links in earlier posts.  There seem to be two different problems.

1.  The use of html code: <a href="{link}">text[/url].  These links are all broken.  Luckly in most cases it is fairly simple to recreate the link as the url is visible.  Many examples of this type of broken link appear in this topic:  http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=15305.0.  I'm guilty of using this format exclusively, so I suspect that all links in my earlier posts are now broken.

2.  The other problem pertains to links to individual posts in a topic.  Before the conversion, these links have this format:  http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?p=124975#124975.  After the conversion, the format is this:  http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=11606.msg124975#msg124975.  I haven't figured out how to translate from the old form to the new form since the topic number is not present in the old form.  Is there some obvious bit that I am missing?

Julie,

Not sure how to fix the second one. I'm working on something, but it might take a little time.

I wrote a PM about this, understand people are busy, just making sure that someone knows about it:

Resource Library links are all dead (except the site navigation stuff at the top). It just boots you back to the main page of the Resource Library if you try to follow any of the links there.

My apologies Clinton, its already noted in another thread. Looking forward to when its done (and yes, people do use the Library....).
