admin's broken linky
now, im willing to consider that a Judge from RAW, might have mis-typed a link (prolly due to age, just sayin'), but unlikely to be El Princesa himself being guilty of fingers of ham.
also, where are our custom user titles? it no-longer says 'I'm a princess' under dabs' averagely human face?

welcome to the new forum
you'll find 99% of the old links not working.
only way to fix it is fixing all those links one by one.
RE: broken links in multiple threads - Error - 11-05-2012
Custom user titles were all removed five weeks ago, and aren't coming back any time soon. And all of the links you mentioned (and also, the links in your sig) aren't working due to the forums moving to myBB from IPB 1.5 months ago, and won't work again before they're updated manually. One needs to find the new URL for each thread again by searching for it, and then replacing that URL with the old URL in the link.
Edit: Not sure if that made any sense, so here's a link instead: http://i48.tinypic.com/2yv439f.png
The underlined URL is the "new" URL of the thread, obviously. That's the one you want to replace the old URL with.

why no custom user titles... apart from the fact that they generated spam?
all the links have to be reset manually? seriously? there isnt an automated fix?

Because postbits only display user titles and don't have a separate line for user group, we decided we'd disable titles and use it to display the member group.

Yes. So far as we can tell, there's no correlation between the old thread numbering system and the new one. If we had the ability to fix it, we would've done so already.
