404 error in old forum archive after 3-5 clicks

[Scott Muller]

Hi,

I've been searching for solutions to some NWChem issues I've been having. Using Google, I found conversations from NWChem's old forum that are could answer my questions. The links didn't work, so I tried searching on the old forum archive to find the relevant question. The archive didn't appear to have a search feature, so I tried looking through the conversations manually. I found that after clicking on 3-5 links I would get a "404 Page not found" error. For example, starting from the "Forums for NWChem's corner" page I would go to "Running NWChem". I found that the conversation I want is on the 12th page. The fastest way to get there is by jumping to page 8. I can then jump to page 12 whereupon I find my desired conversation "running Nwchem in parallel" at the bottom. Clicking on it reaches the error page. I have found no other way to reach this conversation. Other conversations requiring fewer jumps appear to be accessible, but some pages that are otherwise accessible reach an error page if access is attempted after a certain number of jumps. I know similar issues have been pointed out before and were said to be resolved, so maybe this is a new one. Hopefully this can get sorted out.

Thanks,

Scott

Thank you for the response. That does take care of the search feature issue, which is a big help. The conversation in question still gives a 404-error, even when it's on the first page of results, so maybe it's just gone forever. In any case, having a way to effectively search through the archives should help find a solution out of what's still accessible. Thanks again!
