I'm going to show you how to fix all those broken links to threads on the old Club Polk forum after they switched over to this hello kitty version using two examples, one of DarqueKnight's and one off mine.

First DarqueKight's thread titled "Improvements To Modified SDA SRS 1.2TL Crossover"

It's old link use to be "http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?109611-Improvements-To-Modified-SDA-SRS-1.2TL-Crossover&p=1463429&viewfull=1#post1463429"

It's new link is http://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/109611/Improvements-To-Modified-SDA-SRS-1.2TL-Crossover/

Look at the two address's there almost the same, except you can't link to a specific post with in a thread or at least I haven't figured it out. I'll break it up for you.

If you replace www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php? in the links with forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/ and if there is a - after the number replace it with a /, The thing to remember is the number after the showthread.php? also anything after this number can be forgotten as it's just the thread title sometimes it will also contain a page and post number but these numbers didn't translate into the new system

Once again using one of my posts:

The old address (Per the link on V3R's site),

http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?138234-Inductor-DCR-Insanity-For-SDA-s&p=1834017#post1834017

The new address,

http://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/138234/inductor-dcr-insanity-for-sdas

Remember the key is the number in red and if all else you can search using the title of the thread.

Hope this all makes sense to you guys and it helps.

Here's some link's from my own bookmarks that I converted.

    I was just taking the thread title out of the bad links and then just using the title in the search function to find the old stuff.

    Kinda the same thing, I just never compared the URLs.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    You guys are more than welcome. As I have nothing else to do with my time I might as well be useful somewhat.
