Earlier I had added a redirect for /ss_forum, this one needed a redirect for /ss_forum/viewtopic.php (everything after the ? is a pass through).
If you spot others, let me know and I'll add them.
ADMIN,

We've got broken links again. Past forum threads that we asked you to fix, were briefly fixed, and now they are returning a "File not found." error. Please investigate. Try clicking the link above. Thanks.

Yes, I get a 404 Error on that link also. (https://shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewtopi ... he#p265642)

David, JPG, ADMIN,

Thanks. I can confirm that the link issue I reported is now fixed. Much appreciated. I will poke around and see if I can find any other bad links on past threads. IF I do, I will report them. Thanks again.
ADMIN,

We have broken links again. The link discussed above was previously fixed by ADMIN, but now it is broken again. Past forum threads now have broken links again and clicking them gives a "File not found." error. Please investigate. Thanks.

Does every one know that PMs (private messages) can be directed right to ADMIN.

Dusty,

Thanks. I didn't know, but my Inbox for PM is perpetually full here so that is a problem for me. No one ever pointed me to the rules for contacting ADMIN here.

Does everyone know that this thread is actually about discussing broken links on this forum after the new Shopsmith website was launched? That is the whole purpose of this thread. Instead we nitpick about how to contact ADMIN. Tsk Tsk.

Well Duh, ADMIN is the one that can fix it. JMO but it seems to me that being able to contact ADMIN directly is the best way to hopefully get a problem fixed. You can discuss all you want on various threads that many times go off the rails vis-a-vis the thread subject. ADMIN has more to do than wade through all the threads on the forum looking for discussions about their broken web site.

If you don't want to contact ADMIN directly on a problem and let them know why even discuss the problem in the first place?

I have noticed broken links too.
My guess was that for backward continuity Shopsmith had maintained the old Shopsmith.net domain even though it was not currently in use, and at some point, recently, had given it up
On my desktop I found that by editing the .net in the broken links to .com they then worked. No so easy to do on a phone or tablet.
