Title: Request help to update links in older posts
Post by: Haymo on 2018-02-10 02:57 pm
Please help:
I wish to update  links (which no longer work) in some of my previous messages, referring to tools by Rick,
eg rg_Squash.php  and rg_ZapSpacers.
How do I do it?

It looks as if you can edit your old messages to change the links.  Just locate the message, hover over More... beside the Quote button, then select Modify.  You'll get a yellow warning about it being an old message, but that didn't stop me the other day from 'replying' to a 9 year old posting, so it probably won't prevent you from editing the message itself.

Your links refer to: my.noteworthysoftware.com, which apparently no longer exists.
So, as an example, you would need to replace: http://my.noteworthysoftware.com/?topic=8003.0
with: https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=8003.0
which appears to be the new, valid link.

It took me a few days to change references to my free website (courtesy of ISP, now discontinued) to the one I'm paying for now.  Nothing I could do about links to my site made by others, though.

Thank you David and Rick, that's precisely the help I needed.
Sympathy, Warren. Fortunately for me it's a case of the forum still existing, but in a new guise.
