Losing my Links to the Magazine???

It looks like I am going to lose my links to your magazine articles?

I am a casual reader of your excellent magazine.  Whenever I find an article that I might want to reference at a later time I save the URL of the article along with a few words about the article.  All of this info is in a Word document.  Here is an example of an entry:

Good basic hints on how to model water

https://forum.mrhmag.com/post/water-scares-me-12203278

For example, when I started a creek scene a couple of years ago, I searched all of the articles that referenced “water”.  I Just clicked on the desired URL in the word document and the article popped open on my screen.

But now, I get this error message:  Unable to open https://forum.mrhmag.com/post/water-scares-me-12203278.  Cannot locate the internet server or proxy server.

Is there any I can keep my links?

@MtRR75 - Works for me.

I had no problem accessing the post "Water Scares Me". Of course the link will not work once MRH drops the Drupal based forum. It would have been a great feature of Drupal that would have allowed archival of posts on the forum. The best that can be done there before the Drupal based forum goes away is to save each page of the posting in HTML format and then when you want to view it, use the location on your local drive(s) to read the posting.

Was this also published in the magazine?

TOC Links

What effect will the change to the new forum have on the links we use in the MRH TOC to link to the articles?

This page contains all the article links for one issue, I use these pages to collect the article links for the TOC:

This is a sample link to an article:

I'm not sure Joe is paying attention to this thread yet.

This is for problems after the move.
