Your Google-fu is in need of improvement. Just copy the link shortcut and paste it into Google search bar. Google spiders will help you find your links.

I have no problems in accessing the new links in my own sig. Duh.
It's just that many old posts, especially the WEHZ help posts, have links in them.
Users may find it hard to access to them.

I believe this may not be good for users. It's just frustrating people away from this site... because of the upgrade.
This is particularly true for tutorials and spell threads.
I mean, what's the use of an upgrade if it makes it harder for people to access to the posts, isn't it?

I'm wondering if it's possible to retain the old URL, or at least if there is a function to auto redirect to the new URLs when any old ones are accessed.

Yes. You just do a Google search of the old URL, and Google spiders will help you find it.

I'm not good at writing scripts, but I think that redirects can be done if it allows to automatically use a Google search and grab the first result as the redirected URL for the new updated forum link.

This still a problem for me. I don't like it.

Anyway, here's problematic link.
Access to here: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/world-editor-help.58/
and then try to click 'Tutorial and Resources'. The URL is wrong.
Currently, it is:
http://www.thehelper.net/link-forums/tutorial-and-resources.61/

..supposed to be:
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/tutorials-and-resources.67/


If you access through the forum main page though, that link works.
This is a job for Ghan. I'm sure he is around.

A good way to alert him is to abuse a feature of Xenforos.

    Hopefully it will be more pleasure than work

    Recently tried out ChatGPT about WE triggering. Wow it's capable of giving a somewhat legitimate response.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure it has read all the info on the forums here
  • The Helper The Helper:
    i think triggering is just scripting and chatgpt is real good at code
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Yeah I suppose so. It's interesting how it can explain in so much detail.
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    But yet it won't work.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    it does a bad ass job doing excel vba code it has leveled me up at my job when I deal with excel that is for sure
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Nice! I love Excel coding as well. Has always been using Google to help me. Maybe I'll use ChatGPT next time when I need it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    yeah whatever it puts out even if it is not perfect I can fix it and the latest version of chatgpt can create websites from pictures it will not be long until it can do that with almost all the tools
