Many of the RDNA Forum links from the archived Wiki pages above don't work if you click them because the destination page isn't archived, but if one copies and pastes the address, and deletes the part before http://runtimedna..., the thread will load.

That's another thing that really pisses me off. I'm a professional developer of web-based applications. I know how URLs are parsed and mapped to content. There is absolutely no reason that the link format has ever needed to change. So long as threadId is presented, it can be mapped to whatever content structure you actually have. The fact that the original thread identifiers still work shows that this is purely a syntactical change that has only one function - to prevent existing links from working. I know the developers will say they needed to change the link URL format, but they have nothing behind the original format and it is simplicity itself (literally like 5 minutes work) to write a route and controller that reroutes old-style links to the new controllers.

So not only did all the wiki stuff get deleted, but every bookmark I ever had, and every curated link I saved is now unclickable. There was no justification for this - none. Don't even begin to argue with me - I get paid to build web apps far more complex than this one. Oh - did I mention mine work - yeah they work. What a shock.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
