The [Threadspotting link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=481387) links to a thread on the “alternate timeline” board. Actually, all the earlier Threadspotting links aren’t there, either.

I put this in its own thread, since it affects the Front Page.

The front page and archive links are going to be problematical for a while here as we go from the old system to a new one.

Ultimately everything should link fine and you’ll be able to find what you want, look at old stuff, etc. We have a ton of content that needs to be rerouted so this is going to take a while to accomplish.

This is not Jerry’s department but is being handled elsewhere, so please don’t bug him with it.

We are aware of the problem and expect a bit more difficulty until all this is sorted out and corrected. It may take a little time so your enduring patience is requested.
