Moderator Action: I've started restoring the links on the scenario threads to the re-uploaded versions that @Virote_Considon has posted, as suggested by @The_J. It will probably take a few days to catch up with the re-uploads; I'll post the progress here and make another post when I'm fully caught-up.
- No action for
The Crimean War; the original links are still working
Links checked/restored (in order of first re-upload to most recent):

These scenarios/mods were available, but only via HTTP, and thus wouldn't work easily in Chrome or Chrome-based browsers.

Twillight of Byzantium (so it works in Chrome/Edge/Vivaldi/etc.), fixed XenForo migration formatting issue, and restored first post images lost in the upload system hack of 2008

Thread Repair
The links to download were still working for these threads, but XenForo formatting issues have been fixed, or images restored.
- Restored one image for
July 1914: On the Eve of the Great War. The others are still missing
---
Where possible, I'll also try to fix the following two types of issues that affect thread presentation:
- Images uploaded to the first post, showing off the scenario, that link at no-longer-existing sites, such as ImageShack. Some of these were archived by the Internet Archive, and can thus be restored.
- Formatting issues introduced by the XenForo migration. Mostly these revolve around quotation marks, but sometimes ampersands.
(Will be updated...)
