Storage is nice, especially if it doesn't rotate
I noticed yesterday that some older "internal forum links" in threads are no longer functional, presumably because of the forum-conversion complexities. I also assume that this issue may be too difficult to remedy, and not worth the effort, so we may need to just accept it and move on.
An example is the post https://www.storageforum.net/forum/threads/something-random.3070/post-205841, in The Dude's "here" links.

The link above works, but if you go to the linked post, the "here" links in that do not.
I see the issue you're describing. Inside SD's post, he makes a link to another storageforum.net thread at this location:
http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/11322-My-Experience-Ripping-a-Damaged-Bad-CD-amp-How-to-possibly-recover-it-(v-guide)I may be able to search and replace it to something like:
http://www.storageforum.net/forum/threads/My-Experience-Ripping-a-Damaged-Bad-CD-amp-How-to-possibly-recover-it-(v-guide).11322The two parts that changed are

I think he wants "RAD" changed to "RAID" in Computers/RAD Failure.
Perhaps the edit timer can be extended for just Lunar and myself. Lunar's always making typos and f'ing up links and I'm OCD and anal about my posts.
Well, I'll see how it goes in 2020 when I am forced to the Windows 10. Maybe there is some way to test the links and not lose the page, but that usually occurs. Of course a longer time will not harm anything.

You can preview your whole post, before saving it, and test the links that way.

What makes you think the Chinese aren't the ones who changed the forum?
It's been almost one week and I don't recall there being any spam making it to the main forum. I think things have been a little better so far. The anti spam management has been flagging new registered accounts and stopping them from posting. I've been deleting them behind the scenes but that's typical even with the previous version. Now it's easier to manage those accounts which is nice.
