Home page "Forum Top 10" links section is broken

I just noticed it down the bottom of the page, and clicked on a few links and just got 404's. Might want to check the links it is generating.

Topic not found:
Because the topics are in the Top 10 most viewed doesn't mean they exist anymore. Many threads there are quite a few years old and have since been removed due to complaints or just general cleaning of the forum.

Once upon a time they were high interest and generated alot of traffic, but now they're long gone. A few of them may still work, but once a topic has been deleted it's not coming back :yup:



404 Error:
The main page would have used to be the forum itself, and the links are trying to generate from the old links they used to be, I don't think the mods can change this as it's an automated script.

If you still want to visit one of the links, add /forum/ between the ".com.au" and "showthread.php" in your address bar.

Example: If I clicked on this link " http://www.ls1.com.au/showthread.php?t=63317 " and got a 404 error;
I would change the link in my address bar to " http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=63317 " then hit enter or click "go" on my browser.

Hope this has helped!

Sidewinder can change it, and modifying the script should be easy. I'm guessing 1 line (if that) in the php script.

The top 10 list would be generated dynamically by querying the database the forum is stored on. Therefore for anything to show up in the list it will still need to be in the database and not have been deleted.

Easier to just add /forum/ to the link :yup:

Sidey is upgrading the forum at the moment ... some things will remain out of order until it's finished. Be patient.

The top 10 works from the forum home page but not from the main portal home page .. there is a problem in the product which is being rectified. Just go to the forum home and click on the links in the top 10 in there ;)
