Archive busted?

When I click on the Archive Forum, I get this page:

http://www.enworld.org/forum/archive/index.php/

All the links on that page link back to the same URL.

Tried doing a search, and all results link back to the same URL, despite looking something like this:

http://www.enworld.org/forum/archive/index.php/193204-gary-gygax-q-part-xiii.html?highlight=Gygax

Did we lose the archive?

I agree, the links in Archive don't align properly: http://www.enworld.org/forum/archive/index.php/57832-gary-gygax-q-part-iv.html is the link for the Part IV EGG Q&A thread, but when you click on that URL it resolves to is the same URL I typed (http://www.enworld.org/forum/archive/index.php/57832-gary-gygax-q-part-iv.html) but what is displayed in that URL is http://www.enworld.org/forum/archive/index.php/. Perhaps some regex redirect rules aren't working properly???

The original URL for it was www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57832 per google.

i stil cant acess

To be clear, when I click on the link to the archive forum and it takes me to a printable list of all forums (which each link to printable version of those forums) but then the link for the archive forum in that list takes me to a list of the threads in the archive forum. However, those links take me back to the printable list of all forums.

Any news? Do you need further troubleshooting details??

This seems to be an unexpected side effect of the software which is providing 'search engine friendly' URLs for ENworld... We'll have to look further into the solution for this.

Thanks, Plane Sailing! Do please keep us posted on your progress (several folks are currently using the Gygax Q&A archives for research for some Greyhawk projects).

Any updates on this??

Is the archive sub-forum working properly? When I try to access it, I just get a poorly formatted page that links back to the main forums.

Also, on Dragonsfoot there is a list of links to the Q&A threads with Gary Gygax but they all end up on the same page that I described above.
