Find old posts on the Joomla forums
Tuesday, 05 August 2008 19:00

If you have an old post bookmarked at forum.joomla.org that was when it was running SMF, its more than likely that the link will give an error.

Fortunately, its relatively easy to figure out what the new URL is on the newer PHPbb3 forum.

Let's say your old link was:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,255762.0/topicseen.html

The new link would be:

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=255762

Thanks to Brian and Kenneth for pondering on this one.

If anyone knows how to build an htaccess redirect to deal with variables, perhaps we can pass that on to the j.org forum team.
