broken archive

[Vexorian]

try googling for a warcraft mapping related keyword. Wait till a thehelper result comes, it will most likely be a link to the archive

you'll get a link like: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-47918.html

"No input file specified."

Now try browsing the archive itself. All threads in the archive are empty.

After finding results I have to manually change the URL to make use of the thread id otherwise I can't see the result from google...

VBulletin, in their infinite wisdom decided to change the url structure of the archive and when we updated to the latest version it broke all the Google cached links. Don't worry, since the old links are bad Google will purge them and reindex the archive.

This change in the archive structure is going to cause Google to have to redo the whole forum stuff so the search engine results might be messed up for a while. Thanks VBulletin.

We could add a 301 rewrite to easy up the process.
