Okay, I was working a little project, and I went to retrieve some links I had saved. But none of them worked. Instead of "this page cannot be displayed" I got redirected to bungie.net home. The threads still exist, but they have new URLs or something. What happened?

Example: None of the links in this thread work.

Is there anything I can do?

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

I don't think anything can be done, sadly, I think this occured since the Search Function was put into use.

Do the threads still exist now? I copied the links for some and put them into my address bar, and they took me right to B.net. Is it possible that maybe instead of the "this thread no longer exists" message, we are sent to Bungie.net? It seems a bit weird that it's occuring for all of the links in all circumstances.

No. Like, the birthday link does work, but if you Search "Douglas Birthday" it's right there. I hate this.

Perhaps the URLs were nullified and you just get directed to the home page. I do not know, these Bungie guys have strange ways.

Did the links work when you first posted them?

Here's the link for your birthday thread that you have:

http://bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5196692&postRe peater1-p=1

Here's what happens when I take out a certain part of it:

http://bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5196692

Here's the link provided by the search engine. Note the www:

http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5196692

I think that's it. All links now (if they didn't always) require the "www." You would just need to put that into each link and they should work.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Have you compared the broken link to the actual url? Maybe there is something different that can be identified. Probably not, but it's worth a shot.

I think I may have found it. Just try adding www. in front of bungie.net in the old links. I think it worked, unless I mixed something up. I'll go try a few more.

Oops, double post. Sorry.

It looks like that works, I tested it again.

-.- Mabian totally beat me to it. I didn't see his edit.
