Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Off Topic OK Another issue found ....

Okay, new development: we might be able to shave some more time off the automation-solution. If this holds up in the light of day, we might be able to have the links patched by early November or sometime mid-November at the latest. More infos as the story unfolds over the weekend

I think this is working now.
But I don't understand the jargon here.
So somebody needs to test them.That they are going to the proper post

Caveats

Browser cache may still be in play.
Only links with http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php are working now.
Bear in mind that you will get errors if the original post in the url was moved or deleted and nobody went to the reference post and updated.

Also I see some reference to another site like zoom something which was another forum board they will never work without manual intervention.
zoomway/cgi-bin/boards/ultimatebb.cgi

Let me know.

I will look into the oldest ones which used http://www.lcficmbs.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
But I have to find some to view.
They probably are the very oldest.
Don't get your hopes up on this item.

Hi Ruben,

Thanks, did a representative sample test (I hope) and the links that should work, do.

Michael

Okay.
Just remember that some post numbers will be different.
It is the content that matters.

Now I just need to go figure out what I changed and try to get UBB to update the redirect download.After I see what I can do with the cgi file..

FYI,
The original redirect file that she implemented was correct it just needed some changes in the code.
To make it work.
The second file was hosed, Probably a desperation attempt.

This thread has CGI links local to our forum. We never did get around to update all of them looks like.

Michael

I will look at it tomorrow.
But cgi is not my forte.

I noticed that when I try to click the "Lois & Clark Forum" link in the lilac-ish colored navigation bar on the top of any page, it tries to access http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php and I get a 404 error. Although it is still possible to get to the main page by clicking on the "Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards" graphic in the upper-left corner of any page, it would be nice to be able to use the navigation bar's bread crumbs.

No hurry on this one, but I thought you'd want to know.

It must be your browser cache.
There are no navigation links on this page that has cgi-bin except for talking points in the posts now.

Hello Ruben,

Problem solved. Thank you.

I should have thought of clearing the cache myself.

Joy,
Lynn
