Think I broke the Archives

I get to the first page, where you select the forum. But none of those links seem to work.

He's right, you know.

Ugh, I forgot about the archives. The same server change that affected the UMDB is also affecting the archives. I know how to fix it; I just have to find the time. Thanks for pointing it out.

Archives appear to be fixed.

Had a bad technology day at work, it's nice to open the BttA forum and find good news. Thanks for you work here, Ben, I don't know what we'd do without you bag of tricks.

You're welcome!

I'm not so sure that the archives are fixed. I ran some searches for a couple of 2008 posts that I know exist and came up empty.

The search is a Google thing, and I have no power to fix that. I've seen similar results. If I search in the box on the archives page I don't get the same quality results that I get if I go to Google itself and do an advanced search, telling it to only return results from archives.cranepoolforum.net.

I see.
