Rmweb archive

[ColHut]

Seem to be unable to access archives, keep getting a “too many redirects” error. Although searches to the pages show them in google.  
 

Am I accessing them incorrectly?

I thought they disappeared with the last forum 'upgrade'.

Google can still find some old webpages, probably through the Wayback Machine, but the actual pages themselves aren't there anymore.

 

If the page you are looking for starts "rmweb.co.uk/forum/...."  then it's gone.  They went in January 2019 because the old software they were on couldn't be upgraded.  There is more about it in this thread

Does RMweb's search function reach threads that have been archived but are still (or have been converted to) modern url form, i.e. not the old '/forum/' form?

I only just recently came upon the "archived" classification on here, in an old thread of mine that was started in 2010 on this "new forum" but hadn't been posted in since 2013.

 

What surprised me is that the archiving locks the thread. I wonder if it's an automatic setting that comes with the software.

It does; it needs some looking at when I get a bit of time.

Thanks Andy, definitely no hurry I think!
