We need a Utility to convert old links....

I'd like a utility to correct the countless broken NAM links in the posts. As we know, all previous bookmarks no longer work, but what about when someone in a post refers to a NAM article? It's broken of course.


Is there an alternate way to find that article using some of the variables in the original link? I think they show a Topic Number in them.

The Utility could be as simple copy/paste the old URL, and it generates the new one, or it could be something like read the old URL, find the xxx Number, and input that number here, and it will take you to the correct article.

I would like a tool like this as well . Unfortunately, when developing the code to perform the migration I was unable to find a generalized way to capture and correct all the instances in the site. That said, we did request in the migration feedback announcement that as you find these to please send us a link to the thread where you see this (use the contact us link) . If we can get enough notifications of these I can likely get the bulk of those in the site corrected.

Thanks for bearing with the dust of the migration!
