There seems to be a lot of broken links in older forum posts by members. Any way to get these either updated or removed?

Alanoll told me this topic - http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=39114
the extension uploaded was RAR, but downloading is gz (gzip). And after download, extension of file inside the archive has changed and it is having invalid characters....
I don't know how it is happening, maybe it is something with how the user himself uploaded it...

EDIT: Has been fixed.

Certianly.

For some reason, that is the only thread that I could find for the time being that has broken links. I know there are more because I ran into them. Some come up with 404 errors, others come up to search engines.

I'll post here again when I stumble across them.

[EDIT]
Ok, I found the other thread that I was looking at.

http://www.msfn.org/...?showtopic=8041

That one has a number of broken links, and not just the ones that are tagged as invalid.
