Have you been wonderig how to find old threads?
Looking for old forum posts, but can't find them?

Just switch the part before the old number e presto.
For example:
old: http://www.ddo.com/en/showthread.php?t=318694
new: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/318694

Old number stays the same, just change the first part :)

If I had green rep to give I would. I know this is not the first thread to point this out, but one of them should be stickied as I came here looking for exactly this info...

Being that DDO is next to impossible to play without searching for info on what works, how it interacts with other stuff and how it stacks, how to flag for X quest and etc. using "DDO search terms here" on google to find forum and wiki posts about the subject is a basic lifesblood of the game. Having the forum results that seem relevant show up as 404 is literally game breaking for me. As in I can't level my character without checking something. And I can't stand the forums built in search.

also need to change the end of the string as you did in your example

"?t=" changes to just a "/"

.php?t=318694

to .php/318694
