cy414 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 i tried several times to click links people posted to other discussions in the forum, but all of them drop me at the welcome/top page. i thought it might have been some overzealous security in my main browser, but all by browsers do the same. anyone else getting this?

Valck Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Some time ago, Boxelware changed the software running this forum. That new software generates links with a different structure than the one used before, and doesn't understand the previous format. If you look at your browser's URL bar, you'll see something like "forum.avorion.net/index.php?/topic/1234-somename#comment-9876", when previously it would have looked like "www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,1234.msg9876" While it is possible to "teach" the new software how to cope with the old format, it is a lot of tedious and error prone work, even if much of it could likely be automated. Personally I don't think it was a change for the better, but that's just my opinion, and Boxelware will have had their reasons for the change.
