Okay this could be because of the IF>ZB conversion on the IF mainsite but when everI go to the code archive on BB and click on the "downloads" insead of taking me righ to thecode it takes me too the IF main page. :/
i ended up going through 47 pages in the code snippets to find the code I clicked on here on BB. :R
Just thought I'd point this out,even if it only does it to a couple codes orIf I was seeing things.lol :)

You're not seeing things - it changed yesterday while I was going through the list. :(

Eh,i see then..well that sucks. =/
I doubt it will be fixe as it took llong enough for Cory and Helena to collect them codes in the first pace and probably cost them hours and days on end.It woul be even harder now as all them codes are many pages backin the code snippets.

Cory has already begun the daunting task of converting all the URLs in the code and skin indexes.
You're right. It's an amazing amount of work. It's very disheartening that the topic URLs did not transfer with the conversion. I imagine that there arealso other boards with their own databases of topics that may be dealing with the same thing. If there are links on their own board TO their own board, they will no longer work upon conversion, as the topic numbers are being re-assigned in the conversion.

Yes, I noticed this aswell and it is really a pain, especially because there is many links on many forums that mislead you, I can't thank Cory enough for beginning to start converting all the links, we should all give him a big round of applause :P.

Eh,that sucks and i agree it would have been alot better if they would have converted the URLS alsonow it's like all that work you two put togeather was for nothing.
Hopfully this won't happen again and the URLS wil get to stay for good this time.
Anyway's good luck to the both of you as that is going to be a tremendous amount of work and alot of time consumed but well worth it in the end,overall I admire you and cory's determinatin on this,keep up the outstanding work. :)

A variety of indexes have been updated with the new URLs. Once all indexes are updated, everyone will be notified.
As much extra work this has caused, it will actually be beneficial in the long run; the indexes will now contain no broken links or links that weren't added to a specific index.
