Broken links in strategy guides

[Takhisis]

Here's an example:

The Four Rules of Wonder Addiction

At the end of the article there's this link:
Discuss this article in the forum

Which takes me to the forum main page rather than the actual thread started by Ixion.

The same happens in some but not all of the other articles e.g. The Art of War Q&A thread as well. I assume this is something caused by the change to Xenforo which has destroyed our old URL system?

Thanks for bring this matter to our attention. You are correct that the URL in the above link is formatted in the prior vBulletin system, not in the current Xenforo system. However I don't see an obvious way to change the link. I'll look into it.

You'll have to check individually, article by article.
You have to make

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71238

become

https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/71238/

so all you'd have to do is replace

showthread.php?s=&threadid=

with

threads/

Also, what have you done to the noparse tags?

[plain] takes the place of [noparse] in Xenforo

I now see why I couldn't edit the post directly. It lives off the Front Page rather than in the Forums. I'll have to go into WordPress to edit. I'll work on that later today -- getting late now.

I've fixed the links in the original post plus one other. I'll continue to check the other links in the Civ III Strategy Articles and fix as needed. Please report any other broken links. Thanks.

Oh, good to know.

I will if I find any.

The link to the Civ4 subforum (i.e. the last link in the "Related Links" section that starts with "Civilization IV Info Center") on this page also returns a site error.

Should work now.
