Dead Links/Pictures in Threads
Dead Links/Pictures in Threads
Hey so I don't know if I should be posting this butttt...
As I am terrified of being flamed for posting a dumb question/one that has already been asked or asking for pictures or a tutorial that has already been done I feel it is my duty to ask that one of the administrators go through some of the old threads/diy, at least the super popular ones, and just delete ALL the dead links and photos. Half of the threads are completely unusable or pointless without pictures and it's a waste of time.
I feel as though the rock and a hard-place respectively, are asking for clarification on something already discussed but out of date (dead pics and links) and trying to soldier through or looking through older and older files in the hope some image survived.
I know I'm new and that's a lot to ask, I just wanted to check whether that's going to happen or if it's ok for me to start a new thread for something?
For instance in the DIY section there is a thread on OEM Part Modifications where every picture on all the pages is dead. This makes this page useless.
Let me know if I am way off base here. I also realize and greatly respect the fact of how much work I'm sure that it takes to run this site and I mean no disrespect. I simply want to respect the rules in place while still getting what I can out of the club.
Hopefully no one is mad that I posted this..
Cheers!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately I think that the requirement for DIY section images to be attachments rather than links came a few years after the forum was started so that might be why you are seeing some dead images in the DIY sections.
As far as dead links, we will have to go through and review them to see what is going on. chances are that the aged links dont exist, but due to the information included in the thread itself, it hasn't warranted disturbing the thread with an edit.

Fair enough! 
Thanks for the info. I still have actually managed to find more than enough than what I need so far. I may rage a bit more if I find a thread I actually need that's dead.
