Like many members I've saved what I thought were useful links. Now when I try to use them they take me to the same page - looks like the 'New Posts' page. URL = http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/forums/general-turbo-buick-tech.4/
No matter what link I click I get sent to that page. Anyone else have this problem?
Here are some other links that take me to that same page:

Don't want to delete the links or look them all up again if this can be fixed.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Best regards,

Yep, & it sucks! None of my old links work either.
Why does this site keep changing? Look & speed gets slower & slower. Arrrrg!
 
It's Zenoforo vs VB4 So the format of a post in the database has changed but it's still there.
The new search engine is fast enough you should be able to find your old links in short order.

Well so far, no luck. Perhaps I need a little more practice with the search feature. Each search has yielded about 10 pages of info, takes awhile to go through, then find out what you are looking for is not there! Clicking old links still takes me to the 'New Posts' page. Frustrating.......the search is very fast, it very quickly gives me info I am not looking for................Thanks for the tip 'aminga', I will keep trying....

How do we take that old link and reformat it so it will work with the new site? I'm also having the same issues trying to use the search feature to find old threads that I want to review.
 
I noticed this when using Google to search the site. I just used the lightning-fast built in search now.

I just checked, if you search here for JUST the numeric part of the post, it will bring up a new link to the post.


Example:
http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/general-turbo-buick-tech/328324-what-best-oil-filter.html
Search here for "328324" and you will see a link in the search results for the new Xenfor link that you can save.

Clunky, but it works.
