They're still there. tongue

fullmoon · 2010-11-13 22:52:59

That's probably fine...the primary concern was that they were cluttering the forums index page, not that people weren't supposed to read them. This is actually a very handy way of accessing them, thanks for the tip!

Jonathanpb · 2010-11-14 01:00:03

But it's only the moddies and Scratch Team that can use it to get to the archived forums... it's meaningless for us. hmm

Where's the "jump to forum" thing?

Oh! That thing! Got it...

ssss · 2010-11-14 03:51:10

sad I want to go to the archived forums for inspiration - I wanted to see the oldest collab hmm

mathematics · 2010-11-14 04:06:47

I wonder if there's a way so that it's not shown on the forum index but still accessible at the "Jump to" thing.

Wolfie1996 · 2010-11-14 04:13:43

I can't see it on the list... hmm Or on the main index - perhaps it's a bug only seen by Scratchers? (I'll go and check on another account)

EDIT: yikes It's there when I log into my other account - I wonder if the Scratch Team knows this...

gettysburg11 · 2010-11-14 08:30:22

Yeah, it seems pretty pointless for them to be there if the links don't work.

coolstuff · 2010-11-14 08:45:39

I can't see them... hmm Although it would be neat if I could. tongue

Chrischb · 2010-11-14 18:49:57

Haha us nom-mods pwn you; we can see it when you ca-an't. big_smile

Jonathanpb · 2010-11-14 18:51:22

Us Scratchers pwn. big_smile

Hmm... maybe the Scratch Team changed something for moderators, but forgot to change it for Scratchers?

Wait, can you moddies see the archived forums in the forum index? If you can, then you should have those forums in the Jump To thing.

(I can still see the archived forums in the Jump To thing...)

OM NOM NOM MOD. big_smile

We mods can't see them in the Jump To or in the index. But when I log in as a plain old Scratcher I can see them just fine.

noomlluf · 2010-11-14 19:42:06

...And as a New Scratcher. Must be a bug.

hmnwilson · 2010-11-14 20:44:33

They're there, but it gives the "bad request" error when you try to access them. sad

That's only because those forums are hidden from us peasants (Scratchers). tongue

XplodingEggs · 2010-11-14 23:19:44

For me it says Bad request. The link you followed is deleted or outdated.

Chrischb · 2010-11-16 03:51:35

Bump!

12three · 2010-11-16 05:51:35

Doesn't matter to me. I never use the jump. hmm
I'm kind of angry they deleted them too.

Don't worry, they aren't deleted - just invisible for now. The fact that the still appear in "jump to" is a minor glitch in the way our forum software works, but it may turn out to be a good glitch!

I'm going to see if we can have the best of both worlds - less clutter on the forums, but keep the ability to search / view archives via the jump to. Seems like that would satisfy most everyone. smile

Lightnin · 2010-11-16 15:00:38

Ok - please try the "jump to" links again - they should work now, and allow you to browse the archived forums sections.

Thanks everyone for giving your feedback on this. It has helped us find a good solution we wouldn't have thought of on our own.

They work for me now, but I can see them on the index, too... was that meant to happen? I see the same thing on my other account, "Wolfie1996", so I'm thinking it might have been...

EDIT: Now, on the Wolfie1996 account, the jump to works, and I can't see them on the index... (is testing whether account type makes a difference)

Yep - it just took some time for the cache to update. smile Should be ok now?
