Notice broken links? Help me fix them in here

[shtkn]

I was finally able to load the old database (before the 4.0 upgrade) and can now retrieve posts taht were screwed up by the upgrade.

Provide me the link any posts you see that need fixing and we will fix it here.

I expect a lot of people to have a lot of requests, so my apologies if i sound terse when replying

 

CAVEATS

1. japanese text will show up as gibberish. I'm certain this is fixable, but I don't know how, and i'm certain i won't have time to research this.
2. character balls will show up as codes instead of images, you will need to fix those yourselves after I'm done
3. Some BBCode won't work (like the [ info ] boxes)
4. If there are posts where the url is clearly visible, I will skip them since those you can fix yourselves and I need to move on to fixing the stuff you guys can't

There are a LOT of other links in that thread but I find the first post the most important. Thank you in advance, and I hope it doesn't take you too much time.

all links fixed. most of the posts now look ugly though, due to the bbcode not working. you're going to have fix that part yourselves, but the important part is the links should now work

Posts #2, #4, #8 all have broken links.

I think this is nearly every post which contained either important general information, many links to official artworks or important links for their respective games:

Something useful I found thanks to a friend, is that Youtube links won't get a preview if you don't copy the "http://www" part. So you can put one link like "youtube.com/watch?v=VYS1RLuYQK" and you won't get a preview.

The "Forum" links from the xrd wiki are broken

For example on Sin's page the forum Button links to: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/306-sin-kiske/
which does not work.

http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forum/306-sin-kiske/ (forum instead of forums) works

I tested this on Sol's, Millia's and Sin's wikipages so I am pretty sure the link is broken on all pages (I dont have edit rights or else I wouldve tried to edit it myself)

[shtkn]

the wiki is open edit, so yes you can. this probably means the links for bb and p4 are broken too... i'm going to go start on bb then if you can work on xrd

Everything else is either the url itself so I can fix it if need be, the OP is not a main source of content, or so old I frankly don't think needs to worry about being fixed.... Or I missed it.

It'd take too long finding every post on Zepp with broken links, hopefully just a lot of the OPs will salvage it.

@Danaiden links you posted have been fixed. took more effort than i expected.

rest will be fixed later

[gamester]

It's taking a while to get things up and running again. Sorry to ask if you could repair the links on the:

CPEX Rachel Video Thread http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/9570-cpex-rachel-video-thread/&page=1

Don't worry about the links I've put back up manually, I can always add the newer stuff back up I would ask for other video threads for referential purposes but I don't want to overload you with more to do, many thanks for repairing the links. Very appreciated. 

[Yazumatto]

I started working on it but the mass of hyperlinks seem to be making the site very slow for me. Thank you for the help! I'll format it when you're done.

Also if there are posts where the url is clearly visible, I skipped them since those you (or the mod of that section) can fix yourselves and I need to move on to fixing the stuff you guys can't

Yeah I'll pretty it up later. Maybe some time next week. Thanks a ton for salvaging everything.

[reibin]

I don't know which links are dead and which ones are not but everyone I clicked on was dead....

[HardBodyTex]

The first 2 posts have pretty relevant info thats hard to reach

[shtkn]

@Yazumatto links fixed (except for the ones that have hte url clearly visible)

[shtkn]

@Kiba links fixed

@reibin the links are clearly visible, so i'm not going to fix them all as i've stated. only fixed the first 2 pages. find hte mod or get a super mod to help fix them

[Vadsamoht]

Not a broken link in a post, but I should mention that the 'Rules' link in the site header leads to a "Page Not Found", in case you weren't aware.
