Old links in threads

The old links refered to in threads before the change over do not work.  Is this just another example of poor design of a deadend street, or is there a work around?

    I think it's just something we'll have to live with, Curt.

    In the WebX forums, I was the only person (besides the rarely seen Dirck Van Lieu; and the hosts, and they didn't bother with it.) who had access to the Photoshop Lounge Resource Repository for starting threads, posting replies, editing, etc.

    We switched over to Jive, I asked for access again to the P.L.R.R. and access was granted. Now I go through there and see that the only links that work are the ones I coded to use shortened, descriptive text. Raw links are all dead.

    So I have to hitch up my britches, wade in and fix them manually.

    Siiiiiiggggghhhh... Pack me a lunch, mate...I goin' in!

    Doesn't copy and paste in the browser's address bar work for you?

    It does, pj. But I think this discussion is about old links that were posted in the former system and carried over. I haven't heard of any problems with new links.

    there are apparently too many to map... maybe some important ones could be updated and fixed though with community help. do the adobe folks have a way/place to report links that could/should be fixed?
