Forum links in the Wiki often don't work

I have noticed that a lot of the links in the Wiki to forum discussions are broken. Did this come as a result of the switch to new forum software earlier and is there a way to fix it? The utility of the Wiki diminishes otherwise.

Hello Philip,

Yes. It appears that a number of the supplements at the bottoms of a number of the Forum's WIKI sections do not connect anymore. This is too bad because there is a lot of useful information that is no longer available. Hopefully some or all of what is no longer connected can be brought back.

Best Regards,

Michael

Thank you for replying, Michael.

It seems that the only way to access the linked discussions is through the Search field. But one has to search for the discussion's title which is not mentioned in the Wiki except if one looks in the web browser's status bar when hovering above the link. And it's quite a pain to type that into the search field. I also tried searching for the individual thread numbers (the several-digit numbers prefixed to the html address) but that doesn't work.

It may be that this is such a major undertaking to correct that it is impossible to do. But if it's to do with the switch of forum software it surprises me that the links wouldn't automatically have been taken over.
