Old Link (no longer active)
http://www.mormondiscussions.com/viewto ... =1&t=34500
Remove the forum locator (f=1 in this case).
Adjust the topic locator (t=34500 becomes t=134500).
Fix the domain.
New link

Hey folks,
I didn't forget my earlier offer. I just had less free time than I expected to. If you want an easy way to convert old forum links, you can paste them into the form at https://dmfix.jlamothe.net. It's kind of ugly, but it should work well enough.
Please feel free to contact me with any bugs/feature requests... I might even get around to doing something about them.

Can you write us a script wherein two posts in a row by the same username get merged into one post?

The moderator team is going to repair old links that we come across to help ease navigating older posts. In that effort, if you come across links within the old board posts that make reference to other old board posts that need to be updated please report that post and make note that a link needs to be repaired. Please note that you only need report links within those threads that posters no longer have edit rights to. By reporting those currently broken links it will more easily allow us to manage the work.
Thanks in advance for helping us identify and repair these links and a very special thanks from the team to jlamothe for building a tool to aid in that process.

Are you looking to de-duplicate accidental double posts? I could probably figure that out if I knew the schema of the database.Dr. Shades wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 6:53 amCan you write us a script wherein two posts in a row by the same username get merged into one post?

I had the url to Symmachus' bad ass post 'Allima ben Yehuda and the prophet Galma' but I done screwed it. Can someone hold my hand, I spent about 10 minutes looking for it on the waybackmachine, but I'm out of time.
OLD URL: http://mormondiscussions.com/viewtopic. ... E#p1138867
ETA: When I made the changes it took me to a post from Dean Robbers about dead chickens and mopologists. I suspect I may be the victim of some next level trolling from errant Thetans.

This link does not appear to be in the format mentioned at the start of this thread. How did you change it?DrStakhanovite wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 7:18 pmOLD URL: http://mormondiscussions.com/viewtopic. ... E#p1138867
Edit: the p in the anchor was messing with the tool I wrote. Is this what you were looking for?
