Note to moderators - many many links not working - Post all dead links in here!!!!!!!
I tried to access several different DIY and how to threads today for generation 5 cars. Unfortunately, I can't find any links that actually link to the subject posted. Most go to a thread unrelated to the subject, others are simply dead ends.

Yeah, they clearly had some kind of forum overhaul in ~2003ish that caused their thread numbering system to start over. I've yet to run across an explanation as to how it's worked around, but I'll try searching and see if I can report back before you get mauled.

"I noticed you mentioned trouble with old threads not linking etc... I believe a server change screwed up a lot of old threads, etc... The trick is, in the URL to change "showthread" to "oldthread", and hit Enter. It will go to the original link."
Boom, headshot.
But I can't figure out how to get it work, since none of it is in the PHP format like forums.maxima.org/5th-generation-maxima-2000-2003/showthread.php?&f=7&t=123 vs oldthread.php?&f=7&t=123. I'm not seeing it mention anything on the thread's number, as the new system is http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...00-2003/THREAD NUMBER-ABBREVIATED TITLE.html and playing with URLs is getting me nowhere.

Maybe the best thing would be to recreate the threads?

This is the place that they all point to the wrong destination
looks like a lot of useful information that is presently unusable
