I don't know if y'all realize this, but there are oodles of google links to this board that are now broken due to the software switch; e.g., this link.

but note that the cache is still good.

which leads to a question: how long does Google maintain a cache version? I've also noticed some cache links, such as for online periodicals, take you to the latest pages rather than what the summary shows on the find.

BTW, the reason this particular link came up is due to this entry at l'hat.

yikes! the first link worked for me, and it's the old board. or maybe that's what you were saying and I mis-read it....

oy! but I did just notice some Google ads down towards the bottom of this page?... how long those been there?

interestingly, at least to me, there is still some interaction between the old board and the new. I was able to log into the old board, and try a search, which found that posts on the new board show up on the old board, but without user names. with a bit of digging and clicking you can echo around in those old, dusty halls... kind of a strange feeling, actually...

I don't know, 'cuz I can't parse this either. what I meant was that on the Google page that I linked to, both links therein are broken for me (but the cache links are okay).

heh. how do you know it's a cache link?

ah. never mind. found the cache link.

what I meant was that the true Google link worked for me. and got me to the old board, and the thread about razbliuto.

the first Google link that shows up takes me to the old board. I don't have to use the cached link.
