I often add the word "castboolits" to google searches I do. I get a list of threads whose links are to "archive" castboolits threads. For the past two days the links from google do not open, with a note stating the link no longer exists, or is being updated and will take me to main castboolits page after 3 seconds. I didn't know I'd miss the archives this much.

I haven't had any problem.
did you try to restart your browser ?

I was looking up a vintage powder yesterday, here is a archive I just looked at.
Are you able to see it ?

There is a button at the bottom of each page, 3rd from the right labled "archive".

Thank you for response. That did indeed open.

i did a new google search and links are still not opening. I'm on an old I phone (used as if an iPod touch). I'll shut down and try and also try my desktop.

my computer skills are lacking.

The google searches from my desktop computer give me the same links, but they don't open as archives, but rather as open threads I can reply to.

the link jonB posted opened great and is what I am used to seeing when opening old threads from google using this iPhone device.

the archive link at the bottom of the page opened fine (I did not know that was there).

After restarting my IPhone google search links still do not open. I think I captured the link address my browser tried to open:

There is many more characters in my link than in the JonB link

The "Google Custom Search" window is in the upper right hand side of this forum. It searches all of Castboolits including the archive. When an archive page is selected from the return window you will see it without the fancy look of the normal cast boolit site....if you want it to look like the new style just click the url link that is highlighted on the top of that requested page.

Love the way the new custom search works
