<a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.cgi?pg=topics" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.cgi?pg=topics</a> <BR>is what the link should be. Off the home page however it is when I click on it: <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.pl" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.pl</a> <BR>I reloaded the page and erased the cached memory. Is it just me or is the link off?

Weird, I clickd the link in Mozilla/Netscape, IE and Mozilla Firefox it works fine, but not in Firebird. Oh well, looks like it's just me.

The only links I see to the discussion board go to <a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/mb/discus/" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/mb/discus/</a>, which then forwards you to <a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.cgi" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.cgi</a>. <BR> <BR>I think it must be a caching issue on your end. Try reformatting your hard drive to make sure you've completely cleared your cache! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Dave, <BR>I'm having the same problem with both IE and Netscape. I shouldn't be having a caching problem with netscape since I've never used it to see wakeworld. Both browsers just give me a dead link. <BR>

I can't explain why it's doing that for you. However, I changed the link for the Favorites at the top of the page so that it goes directly to <a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.cgi" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/discus.cgi</a>. Let me know if that does it for you.

AJ, I reformatted my hard drive, and that seemed to work wonders. Actually, clearing cache not just page history fixed it too for firebird.

My shortcut on my desktop to the discussion board wouldn't work either after the big switch. I never looked to see if the url was different i just copy and pasted the new one to my link after i got there.
