Embedded links in old posts now working

recently I was looking something up on the internet and the following appeared

but clicking on those links did nothing.

King Dave Baker indicated the following (after a big ARRRGGHHH)

I am finding that I can reach the intended target pages by doing some manual fiddling -- e.g. the first link below has a "t=4889" which means this link will work instead:

   https://benefitslink.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=4889

Hmmm - thanks Tom. I've always suspected you might be the missing link, and now it is confirmed.

The links that are embedded in the text of older messages are now working. No more manual fiddling needed.

(I made a change in a configuration file on the server, so that certain links are automatically "rewritten" behind the scenes, telling your browser how to get to the right page).

Thanks, Tom!
