Hello. I assume you know this already, but when you click on a link to a specific topic (thread) using search engine, it now only takes you to the main home page not the topic you were looking for.

You mean google, right? Yes the forum software was updated, so all the links changed. I need to see about redirecting them.

WHAT the Sam Hill are you talking about. Are you aware that this is a forum about go karts. Nothing against ice cream ( I like it too ) but your post is a little out of place.

Internal links from within DIYGK linking other DIYGK threads are also no bueno. That's a big issue for this forum's database because the info is otherwise lost. The vast bulk of the forum content is from before the software XenForo update in 2020.

For example, the below thread, post #1. The links to other DIYGK content are broken:

Everything is still listed under vBulletin, which was the old forum software for here, which will just redirect to the forum main page. Not sure if the XenoForo importer add-on will help.
