Yes, I get a 404 Error on that link also. (https://shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewtopi ... he#p265642)

David,

Thanks. So, I don't understand what ADMIN did when JPG forwarded another thread with a broken link to them. Did they just fix a particular type of broken link or selectively edit the threads that JPG forwarded to them???

I do not understand WHY some links worked for a brief period. There may have been some testing being done????

I hope an all inclusive repair activity will occur.

Why too much past effort is being lost if not!!!

There are at least two types of 'breakage'. (t= p= )

The forum data is not being lost. Search for the subject, the author or both and with a bit of patient scrolling you'll find the data.

The above link https://shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewtopi ... he#p265642 should now work.

Earlier I had added a redirect for /ss_forum, this one needed a redirect for /ss_forum/viewtopic.php (everything after the ? is a pass through).
If you spot others, let me know and I'll add them.

Looks like the links leading to the Shopsmith academy don’t work yet. http://www.shopsmithacademy.com/SS_Arch ... rn_Pt2.htm
I think the website for All In One Wood Tools is old or has changed.

David, JPG, ADMIN,

Thanks. I can confirm that the link issue I reported is now fixed. Much appreciated. I will poke around and see if I can find any other bad links on past threads. IF I do, I will report them. Thanks again.
