It might be worthwhile to add The Common Commoner to the list of threads on the first page.

I think this thread needs another bump so that some new people can add it to their bookmarks. So much useful information here.

I used the download thread feature instead. Bookmarks are better, but for some reason some threads "vanish" from the bookmark - when you attempt to get the thread again through the bookmark, it's another thread! I think the recent boards problem is the culprit.

Oh yeah. Bump.

Could be some of the links to it are older ones?

I've been working my way through the threads in this list. But the site redesign seems to have broken all the links, which is a tragedy. I don't spend much time here -- does anyone know an easy workaround that would let me see the old threads?

 

[Mark]

Those first four posts should all work, again. I hope you are gleaning some good advice from the once and future DMs of EN World.

 

[Noumenon]

Unbelievable -- you just keep on giving. Was that a lot of work? It might be handy to know the method used if I run into other broken links.

I have been reading all this stuff as a player and it's gotten me so excited about DMing that my group is letting me take over. My first session is on Thursday.

 

[Mark]

Cool. It was a lot of little bits of work over a lot of little bits of time. I think most links from the various incarnations of the boards can be adjusted by either adding /forum/ in the middle or changing /forums/ to /forum/ Glad to see this thread is still getting some use.

 

[Noumenon]

Thanks again. I have used the trick of changing /messageboard to /forum three times already in threads people linked to. Now how do you fix links like the one to Jamie Buck's NPC generator at http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/news...wdownloaddetails&lid=171&ttitle=NPC_Generator ? The board thinks that link is "from the future." I wonder if they know that their upgrade broke all kinds of old links?
