Ding-ding. Yeah, I couldn't figure out why all of these links weren't working — until I traced one of them back and carefully scrutinized my browser history. Exactly the same link, embedded as http, now works only when specifically designated as https. I'm all for all-https, but the Forum software should automatically redirect to the SSL version.

Still broken. All of the above link forms USED to work in the past.

Thanks for the report, blind12. I thought the link to the forum's rules at the bottom was non-existent, turns out, just one 's' was missing. Michael, you probably need to add proper redirection rules to your Apache web server, like explained here: https://wiki.apache....pd/RedirectSSL Also, it's recommended to modify forum's theme, because it keeps loading some of the resources via http hence Chrome shows this warning: 'Insecure content blocked. This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources.' Here's a list:

Thanks, spike ... I don't think this relates to my or blind's problem, and IAC I can't implement your proposed solution. I don't get a blocked content warning: I just get redirected to the Forum homepage. And, IAC, I am so ignorant that AFAIK I don't personally HAVE an Apache web server, and IAC have no clue how to follow the instructions on the page you linked.
We are not the only ones: I've had two people contact me via email asking where posts I've linked in other posts have disappeared to. One of them thought it was behind a paywall...

Is there someone who's doing technical support of this forum?

About that warning, yep, it does not directly relate to this problem, it relates to the transitioning to https. It's an icon with a warning if you press on it and not seen on every page, I can see it on the main page of the forum. Seems like those script files being blocked does not negatively impact functionality, so not a big deal, modern browsers will automatically block them as otherwise it's a security breach. This is how that icon looks:

Sorry about the broken links. Our engineer team is aware of it.
