Has anyone else experienced issues viewing archived threads found via google search? I keep getting links that look like this:  
[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-596976.html](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-596976.html)

and if I click it, it takes me to an archive version of the forum listings.

If I manually change the URL to:  
[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php?t-596976.html](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php?t-596976.html)

I can view the archived thread.

Any insight onto what could be the problem and if it’s my end or not?

Win 7 and Chrome if it’s relevant.

I’ve been getting that, too. XP, Firefox.

Yes, I’ve experienced that. I assumed it was a consequence of the new server?
