I ask cause if all the links in all the threads end up dead in few months, it would be nice to make some effort to update them in the most important threads ... ?

Hm... According to Bioware this is not the forums they were going to deliver, just wanted to give us a taste of how it would be.

I would think the old BSN would eventually disappear for after awhile those old threads wouldn't have any real use for the information would be outdated.  I don't see it happening without them notifying us first.

In all former threads now imported here, links are not up to date and still point to BSN pages/post which will eventually be offline. For ME3 MP lots of sourced threads would become less usefull.

I better not start relinking if its going to move again.

I would appreciate a month type delay at least

I am not sure I understand what is a forum request. I was specifically wondering about links to BSN in all the TBF imported ones.

Example, if you were to click this link:
http://social.biowar.../index/14137082

Once we have our change ready you would be automatically redirected to this location:
http://forum.bioware...twitter-thread/

Hopefully that makes more sense. :) I have bad English skills in the morning.

That's a really nifty way to handle it, I like that.

At least your bad English skills are in the morning, mine seem to be all day long.  :)

Sorry for my english, i gess i am the one not making himself clear.
SO we are here in abeta version as asked by Megaillusiveman ?

Anyway in your example, the new version of the thread on TBF includes the link to former BSN thread just below the image : "Inspired by those crazy cousins in the Mass Effect forum"

If BSN goes offline one day, all those links will end up dead. I particularly think of the "ingame numerical test" thread from peddro which is a very usefull link (to bsn) compilation.

Ahhhh, now I see what you are saying. I did not realize the embeded links still point to the original post.

 

Jessie's post now make sense. He is saying they are in the process of being converted (once tested to work).

 

There will be no syncronization problems as the original BSN ones can't be updated.

 

My 2 cents anyways :)

 

Joseph
