That is very true, Dennis. Thousands of links have been broken, and will have to be updated. But that is the very nature of the Web, is it not? There is no way to sugar-coat it -- a way was NOT found to make redirects for each individual post. Once all the boards have been moved into their final logical postitions, the website owners who care will find the obits and other posts with their new URLs, and update them. Those who don't care, will at least leave a clue for the persistent researcher. Valorie Dennis Ahern wrote: > > Somebody suggested a workaround for finding missing obituaries.
