Links Not Working?

[Zamboni]

When I click on a link that has been posted in a thread, I simply get sent back to the forum home page as opposed to a specific location. Any idea why or what I may be doing wrong?

 

[Fraxinus]

are these old posts/threads or very recent ones?
This is going to sound daft but can you link to a problem thread so we can check if it works for us. It might be a software glitch or just that the link was broken or deleted down the line.

I do love the word daft! Here are two, and even though they are the same address, they came from two separate links so not sure if the original link got posted wrong. They are from the shoes tutorial that was posted in the DIY forum.

They send me straight to the home page too, must be a software glitch.
Perhaps a Mod may see this thread and know more.

Thanks for the reply Rob, it happens with me on almost all links referring to bushcraftuk forums. Bummer, I am really trying to find the page that the link is intended to direct me to.

From your links I get a return to the home page too. Is the search engine a possibility to find your subject?

I tried the search engine and I tried posting the pic on this forum. How this came about is I sew moccasins, and I was searching for a moccasin boot to sew and I came across an image on Pinterest that was posted from this site. When I clicked on the image, it sent me to the forum homepage so I joined the forum so I could do a search. I don't know if the search was successful because the vast majority of links I clicked from other posts sent me right back to the forums homepage. These are the boots I am trying to find information on, supposedly there was a tutorial that went with them also.

I even used the google image search and couldn't find them, which only fuels my desire to locate something on them as the style must be pretty rare lol.

What you'll probably find, if you find the tutorial, is that there aren't any pics anymore due to Photobucket getting greedy. Like here:

I think its from the migration and also the move to https the lads n lasses have been working on. You would need to edit the link manually before hitting go so,

Thanks dwardo, you're pretty much a genius. So, now can you tell me why I cannot open any images that have been posted? I just get a square followed by

 

[dwardo]

Can you pop up an example for us to look at?

 

[Zamboni]

The link that you fixed for me took me to what I think is the correct page, but all of the images just show as text that reads

I can't click on them or anything.

I get that too sometimes, other times they display. It's not limited to this forum, it happens elsewhere too. You joined the forum just after a software upgrade from V-Bulletin to ZenForo, some pics may not have translated so well, and if they're Photobucket they won't show anyway.

 

[dwardo]

Think thats a different issue. The source says the pics are hosted with image shack but dont seem to be available with them anymore. Deleted or moved/renamed. Guessing mind.

Thank you again dwardo, I wonder if Leon-1 still has the images somewhere. Do you think he would mind if I asked?

Hi Zamboni
The issue I've got is with the site upgrade we've moved across from bushcraftuk.com/forums to bushcraftuk.com/community. In the links if you change the word forums to community the old link does actually work. I am looking at running a script which will look for all instances of bushcraftuk.com/forums and change it to bushcraftuk.com/community but I've just not been brave enough yet as it'll literally trawl the entire database which if it went wrong....

Leave it with me though it's on my list of jobs.

Thank you Lithril, with help the link did work, it's the pictures in the tutorial I am after now as they won't open or have been removed.

Wow! Good luck with that.

 

[Zamboni]

I'm assuming I'm just out of luck on this. Thank you for everyone's efforts, very much appreciated. If anyone knows Leon-1, I would really like to talk with him.

Send him a message?

I see you've posted on his profile page already, he'll see it when he's back in.
