Many of us are frustrated when a link in the stickys gives us,
Here is how to find those threads:
To find a thread that the link does not open do this:
1) Open the Google Custom browser - https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=012217165931761871935:iqyc7cbzhci
2) Type in the desired thread title (you can just type in part of it, usually) For instance type,"Newbys, good info here".
3) Hit the search button, and voila, it opens the thread that was not found earlier.
Now, if you want to help me fix those threads, post in this thread (it is unlocked) giving me where the old thread was located and the correct link, I will change them as I see the posts. I will then remove the post.
example:
(Sticky Thread) https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/sticky-threads-all-the-good-info-you-want-in-one-place.1052730/
(Bad Link) shop safety tips
(Correct Links) - https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/shop-cleanliness-and-fire-safety-tips.1340795/ and
