CurlyWhirly Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Has anyone else found it difficult to get the simple steps to work as shown in my attachment?I am referring to Scuzzman's post at the end of this thread http://forums.windowsforum.org/index.php?showtopic=15593I tried it but after following the instructions I kept getting:ERROR 404File not found, please check the link and try again.If you keep receiving this error, please report it to a member of staff on the forum. :sad: Is it something I'm doing wrong or is something not working correctly as I can see no reference to the thread ID.p.s. can anyone else get it to work?Also it isn't just this thread link that doesn't work but a few others as well.Not a major problem I know and as we have undergone 2 forum moves recently i.e. WF to NP and now back again, it is inevitable that we have issues like this with all the changes!

dadyassa Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I get the same screenshot as you, but the click here takes me to the site. I am on Opera ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 the click here requires index.php?showtopic=XXXX adding where X is the topic number you are trying to reach, therefore the link to scuzzman's post from that page would need index.php?s=&showtopic=15593&view=findpost&p=129727 adding after the last / in the address bar.Does that help ?

Craig Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I have fixed the link found in the topic.There is a slight typo in the link, instead of "forums", it is "forum". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
