Pretty much the title I can post fine and new posts show up but pre-migration my last post is from way back in 2010. I'm not here to rage or anything just trying to see if it's limited to me or not

Eh, the search function doesn't really work properly. It misses a lot of past posts, including when you select your own. (Not to mention, the new search isn't as versatile as the old one, and the old one already had issues.)

Another one of the issues with the new forums that Turbine hasn't addressed.

Quick workaround: exchange the "en" in the URL for the word "forums".

Turbine failed web 101 when the failed to put a permanent redirect in place during the forum downgrades.

Basically 100% of old links are broken. The post is still there, but the format of the address is wrong. If you look carefully at the working and non working links you posted you can see they are formatted slightly differently. Reformat the old link to the new format and it should work.

Which in turn breaks the search engines and make trying to research builds or old forum posts... more effort than I care to put into it.

Oh then take a look at this thread:

Not sure why your last pre-migration post would be from 2010 unless you were searching or clicked on your name and asked for previous posts though (since the above affects all pre-migration posts AFAIK), which is why I mentioned search.
