Jon, in case you're not aware yet... links aren't working. All the sigs, threads, etc. The threads seem to be there, but for whatever reason if you click a link that was posted before the site went down, it doesn't work. I believe the URL's are the same though :confused:
Hmmm that's not good.
If we have to change every link again I'm going to scream!
Ok i see the difference.... the '/' is now a '?'
Before site change:
theultimatejeep.com/showthread.php/73-Sal-XK-s-Garage
After site change:
theultimatejeep.com/showthread.php?73-Sal-XK-s-Garage
..... please tell me this can be an across the change software fix and we dont have to edit every single link we posted :(
Oh my freaking god!!!!!!!! LMAO I hope to god that can be done with a click from the web guy. But I have a feeling were going to be doing every single link again.Quote:

Nope the forum had to switch server providers and it took awhile. We posted it on TUJ's FB page.Quote:

He shouldn't charge you for that if it was working when we moved it should be working now.Quote:

The way we did it last time was everyone fixed all the links in there own posts then reported the bad links they found that weren't there's and I went and fixed them it was a PITA and were a lot bigger now so that way won't work to well plus I don't have the time it would take either. Let's just hope the web guy can get it done easily.
Any update on this?
Was going to go through the first post of my garage thread to at least change those links.... figure I can change them back if/when this gets fixed.
Web guy did not find a fix, I guess this falls to us to come up with a solution.
Oh man, this includes every link posted anywhere on the internet:(
There's no way to have every address theultimatejeep.com/showthread.php/.... forwarded to theultimatejeep.com/showthread.php?..... when people click on it? I'm not a web guy, but I recall that kind of stuff being done on previous forums (like when seriousexplorations.com was changed to explorer4x4.com). Though i think we went through this with the last changeover, was hoping maybe you had a "new" web guy that had more info
Jon, every link in the member map is bad too :eek: lol
Ah man :( I guess I'll have to bust out the laptop and just start fixing stuff. Monday threw Thursday I won't have anytime to dedicate to fixing links.
Jon, do you have a username and password at vbulletin.com? I was reading some troubleshooting threads there and it looks like people have similar issues as us. I'd like to post a question there but you have to be a licensed customer.
I do, but it is one my desk at home (a thousand miles away).Quote:

I fixed my garage and sig already but I'll stop there I guess and see what info turns up.Quote:

A bunch of my links were messed up pointing to the first post not sure if they were always like that but I had to redo them all from scratch.Quote:

Hey guys, I know this is a old thread but I'm still finding and fixing dead links from the switch. If you guys can just click links every now and then to find the ones that are still bad would be great. If you don't or can't fix the link just report the post or send me a link and let me know. Thanks!
