Error in Legendary Threads

[DannyScene]

Don't know if anyone else has noticed but in the legendary threads list when you click on First written warning: absent from work - snow, it links you to Flashman's cycle punchup.

[CopperBolt]

I noticed its still the same. Also about a third of the links take you to a page with "nothing to see here" written on it.

[Jack Mansfield]

Wow this is an old thread! But thanks for flagging it up again.

You're right, must have been a mix up in the formatting years ago. However, I can't find any thread to do with "First written warning: absent from work - snow", so if anyone has any ideas it would be good to get the links right! Problem is, is some of the link titles are different to the actual thread titles so it could prove difficult...

Maybe we just need a good tidy up?

I will have a look at some point, pretty sure I have added a few in there over the years.

[Jack Mansfield]

Yes, agreed. I'm happy to give it a tidy!

Sorry I forgot to mention that the threads with "nothing to see here" are likely to be threads that have now been deleted for whatever reason...

[750turbo]

Have a look now please - I have flagged some for deletion, and some as closed.

Am I ok to carry on? (And delete the obvious ones?)

Amazing, good work! Was going to crack on with this this morning but you're ahead of me

By all means carry on if you're happy to - drop me an email and I'll see if I can get a PH t-shirt (or mug etc) over to you in the post for helping out.

ETA - looks like you've put delete next to the Ed China thread, can you confirm why please?

I would say if the threads have been deleted then remove the links from the "legends" page. My 2p.

Thanks Jack

The Ed China one takes me here... Nothing to see.

I shall do, only once I have been through them all though (I have taken a copy just in case!)

That link works for me.

[Scrump]

Just had a look and you flag the legendary stting thread for delete. That link works for me.
Didn’t try others.

Really? What do you see?

Do me a favour and have a look at a few please?

All I see is this on the thread you mention:

[Scrump]

Been through all the ones marked as delete and it is only the Ed China thread and the mid morning stting thread that work for me.

[AlexRS2782]

I think some of the threads with errors or "nothing to see here" are the result of the text / formatting that was entered by the person who originally added the link to the Legendary thread:

For instance - the Edd China thread referenced above.

The person who added the thread originally entered the link below which brings up the "Nothing to see here" text if clicked:

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

However, when i removed the "&i=999999" that was at the end of the link above, the thread opened on the first page:

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Some of the other threads may just need the same & have the link changed to so it just directs to the thread and doesn't contain any embedded member ID, or highlighted post data, that might stop the link working.

[750turbo]

Brill - Thanks, first one sorted, will have a look at the others over the weekend.

[750turbo]

OK - All updated now - If I have messed up let me know please - I have a local copy of all the original links.

[Scrump]

Good job.
I had a look though and cannot see the mid morning shooting thread which was working for me.

It's in a special place scrump...

I have added the link and a plea back in though.
