deeveedee Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The recent website update has broken intra-site links. Prior to the update, the links were specified as Before Update: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic... After the update, links became After update: https://www.insanelymac.com/topic... '/forum' was dropped from the updated links. It looks like the fix should be to restore '/forum' to the links where '/forum' is missing. Note that this fix should only be performed for intra-site links and not for links that reference locations external to insanelymac. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeveedee Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) The broken links problem is still present and should be VERY EASY to fix. Since I imagine the CMS for this site stores everything in a database (probably mySQL or similar), someone needs to write a script that looks for '/insanelymac.com/topic' and replaces it with /insanelymac.com/forum/topic'. There are many once-useful posts that are no longer helpful because their embedded links are broken. Edited January 10, 2021 by tonyx86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Some of the download links that are embedded in posts are broken, too. I manually fixed some of these by deleting the download link (leaving the attachment) and saving the post. The re-created link (after saving the post) is fixed.

I think I understand but want to be sure Sorry for the late reply - I didn't realize that you had responded. I corrected the broken download links that I found in some of my own posts. If I stumble upon another one, I will post it in this thread as an example. Thanks for attending to this! Great job with the site - it is a pleasure to use now!
