Maybe this was covered somewhere else, sorry if this is a repost...

There seems to be something weird going on with links that were posted before all the server hulabaloo...I found this in the craigslist lust of the day thread - links to craigslist ads posted before the switch now have the address to the specific page of the post i.e.: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/craigslist-lust-of-the-day/19871/page4/ in front of the actual link location.

For example, the Lancia I posted in that thread on page for is located on Craigslist at: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/2563948785.html

thats where I hyperlinked when I originally posted. Now that link is to http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/craigslist-lust-of-the-day/19871/page4/..., which wants you to get out the map...Links posted to that thread today do not have this added text in the link.

Not sure if thats going on elswhere in the forums, but thought Id mention it.

Thanks for that heads up- I hadn't seen that one before. It's added to the (too long) list of fixes.

Guess you wont be playing Forza tonight, huh, Tom.

No Forza in my future.

Maybe for the Sunday evening race...maybe.

Hey, I just figured something out. This problem has nothing to do with the changeover; it only affects the posts you made that didn't include "www" in the URL. Fixing them now...

Edit- make that "http://", because Craigslist cares.

So glad to have an error that wasn't caused by the new Classic site.
