smeghammer Posted July 9, 2023 This might be useful for people finding 'broken' links to DW threads in older ID Games wad descriptions... I was browsing the ID Games archive, and came across a map whose description included a URL to an old DW thread: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/megaw2 The DW link is: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39487 This doesn't work as it is not in the same format as currently used. However, it DOES contain the thread ID. I also noticed that the important part of the current URL format is the thread ID - in other words, this: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/133417-doom-pictures-thread-2023/ Is the same as this: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/133417 What this means of course is you can rearrange the old format link to a new format link that works just fine: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/39487 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Andromeda Posted July 11, 2023 You can also access specific posts by replacing "topic" with "post", like this: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/post/133417 This also works, by the way: https://www.doomworld.com/vb/thread/133417 (for threads/topics) https://www.doomworld.com/vb/post/133417 (for posts) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
