#1 rasbadar Jun 25, 2008 6:33:06	Hi all! Why can't I see all archived articles? When I click on some links (I suspect these are the older articles) I just see a white page with no content (0 bytes). e.g. this link here: http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archi.../t-603384.html Is there any possibility to view those articles? Or do I have a browser problem? Best regards from good ole' Germany Ras

How did you even come across the URL you are using as shown above???

How did you even come across the URL you are using as shown above??? Hi, I found these links (and many more of them) in the Thread "Index of RHoD Threads and Resource Links" : http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=855450 There are many links in this thread which lead to these "empty" pages. I could not find a real pattern, but it seems that many links that contain "wotc_archive" are defective (e.g. http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-694319) . But I found also some other links to articled without "wotc_archive" that do not work properly. And there are some links that lead to a proper "article not found" page. I am just starting to DM this module (Red Hand of Doom) and I really would like to peruse these older articles. Is there any other place where this stuff is archived? regards
#8 hellmute Jul 08, 2008 10:14:24	I have no clue how it is archived. I jsut use the link at the bottom of the page that says Archive. http://forums.gleemax.com/archive/index.php

The archive process tries to check forum permissions to make sure you can see the thread as you would normally on the main forums, but it's determining the forum is missing so thus there are no permissions. I talked with a couple people and it sounds like it's OK to display the thread if the forum is missing, but I've got to see if I can modify the page to display it. Eric
#10 rasbadar Jul 09, 2008 7:12:56	Hi Eric, it would be super-cool to show the contents, if they're still available in your database and it's just a permission problem. Just for further information: Interestingly, some links into the archive work properly. You should visit the RHoD-thread mentioned above and check the different versions of forum-URLs that work and don't work, there you will find plenty examples (with ..wotc_archive..., without it. links with t=nnnn and p=nnnn etc.). The only pattern I can see is that the older the article is, the higher ist the chance, that the blank page will be displayed. Thanks in advance for your support & kind regards Ras (from Munich/Germany)
