1. I need help locating old forum links that are no longer working. If you click on a broken link it generally sends you to a page that says 404. If you find one, please post the thread here so I can quickly go and remove it.

2. I also need help going through the Metal Detecting Clubs list and finding which clubs are still functioning. If you have time to browse the club list, it would really help.
Copy and paste which clubs are not working on this thread. THANKS! :thumbsup:
 
Here is a link to search results for posts made before Jan 16 (date new software went live) that include the old URL indexing system of: https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?p=

It looks to me like most links re-direct to the correct thread, while some others do not. I hope this at least makes it a little easier to find some of the links that don't work. :)

Thanks for the help Wolf-Dog. You are correct the forum links are redirecting as they should.
It is mainly links in posts that lead members off the forum that are broken. I cleaned up the Detecting Club links page and pretty much removed all the links . So if club members would like a link to their club site/facebookpage they can message me and I'll add it.
The links were so old most of the sites were just gone.

What I'll be doing today is following links in the Member Links forum.
