I often promote this board to other S2000 owners by sending them links to various discussions. Unfortunately when you paste a link to a specific thread in an e-mail it is quite long and line wraps:

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/newthread.php?a...hread&forumid=4

Many e-mail clients don't handle this properly so when you click on the link in the e-mail the browser tries to load the first line and the user gets an error.

The way I handle this on our servers is to use rules to rewrite URLs. For example, if the user clicks on a link such as:
http://www.byteserve.com.au/news/wifi
the server rewrites is as:
http://www.byteserve.com.au/news.taf?_func...il&findkey=wifi
which will then find the specific news article.

If we had a system like this either the user could assign a keyword to the thread when they write it and it would appear in the thread, or a unique key would be created by the server.

Either way, if you could get to this thread by entering:
https://www.s2ki.com/thread=eec949d024b2bd9...a4416ebc0663067
it would work much better.

Also, we could assign keywords to particular areas. I would love to be able to enter:
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/australia
and get straight to the Aus section.

The software I use on the Mac platform to do this stuff is called Welcome, but I know it's based on some unix stuff that is freeware.

Doable?

 

You don't have "Browse the board with cookies" enabled in your profile (MyS2000 > Edit Profile). The URL is so long because it contains your session key, s=..., that would otherwise be in your cookie. When you paste your link, remove the s=?????& part of the URL and you should be fine. The URL should just have ?threadid=??? after that and maybe a postid.

Removing the s= is the key when not using cookies. It won't harm anything to leave it in but if the links don't work...

Cheers.

 

Ok, now browsing with Cookies (yummm)! Thanks

Any chance of the keywords for specific areas?
