Links do not work

[Ward H]

I've been going back and looking at older threads in Maine Sail's Musings forum and find a lot of links in threads just bring up the main forums page.
I thought it was because some of the posts were several years old but came across a thread with a post dated 2017 and this link
http://forums.catalina.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?p=1103132
didn't work.
Did something change in the forum that broke these links?

When such things happen,
Who you going to call?
Hey @Phil Herring ....

 

[Phil Herring]

Yes, @Ward H -- some code was incorrectly archived. That link (which is left over from vBulletin days) will now work, as will others in that format. Thanks for the heads-up @jssailem and sorry for the problem.

@Phil Herring Maybe the Ghost Busters is not an avatar for the task... And I love the Battle Ship image.. Is that the USS New Jersey (BB-62) Sydney to Hobart cruise 1988?
Maybe.... Since you banish the Gremlins on the SBO Forum...



Or during these no sailing doldrums a contest might be run?

 

[Meriachee]

A Gremlin contest?

 

[Ward H]

Thanks @Phil Herring
I figured it had to do with forum changes. I guess someone saved an old link and used that in 2017.
Thanks for the quick fix.

@jssailem that's the Missouri, which used be a thing here in the PNW but is now moored on Oahu.

I understand and She is a fine ship. I just could not find that image I remember visiting her in Bremerton before she was moved to HI. I think I contributed to her being saved fund.
Found this one... Guns blazing off Sidney in 1986 Look how she is pushed to the side...New meaning to Guns Blazing.

I was on her in Bremerton, I think it was the year my family came up for the world's fair. Such a beautiful ship; look at that sheer line! I'll bet it was a hoot to be on an Iowa Class for one of those broadsides.

 

[jssailem]

Yes... Noisy I will bet. I do not think they could let crew out on deck...

 

[Stu Jackson]

Just think about being on the OTHER end!

A close friend of mine was Operations officer on her round the world cruise sometime in the 80s. Another friend of mine was Operations officer on her during Desert Storm. When a full broadside was fired she moved sideways 4'. Crew were also not to be topside as the concussion or air blast would harm them. Absolutely marvels of engineering and to me a thing of beauty.
