Hi all great folks on Contribs...
It would be nice to have an algorithm that makes it possible to browse the links in the old-forum-discussions (both old Contribs.org and e-smith.org sites). As it is now - it's just dead links.
It sounds silly - but alternatively - could the old site forum exist in a closed parallel-version (just for this single browsing purpose)??
Rgds,
Greg

I've done my best to convert all links that used to point to the e-smith.org forums or the old contribs.org forums to the new forums. If you find any links pointing to either of these sites that seem like they might be useful please pass them along and I will try to get them converted.

Hi Shad,
Sure, I will.
I can see that it must have been a single issue in the early days of the new site. All links worked today...
Thank you for the great work...

Well Shad, your work converting the links to other posts in the forums is certainly appreciated.
The problem is, is that there are quite a few other places that forums posts are referred to (ie other forums and sites), including my own "library" of information. When I go to one of these other sites or my own information files I have links to the old contribs.org "Forums" and the old e-smith "Forums", and unfortunately these do not resolve anymore.
Could you please give us the conversion formula or alternatively , as mentioned in a different post on the same subject, give us a closed version of the old "Forum" forums for look up and cross reference purposes only.
It wouldn't be too hard to have a reference version of the earlier style Forums running, just set it up and leave it alone forevermore.
Thanks & Regards
Ray
