Suggestion regarding Archive
When thread revert to the archive and can no longer be modified, one of the bad aspects is that linked images in thumbnails, even to pics stores on the Corvetter Forum by sponsoring members, are broken.
This is a problem for how-to primers when knowledge is now lost because the images are no longer part of the thread.
Here is an example:
Clutch Pedal Woes--Fluid Changing Kit
Can anything be done to preserve the links in archived thread?
TIA,
Ranger

Six months have passed with no action taken by the site administrator to fix this glaring problem.
I would appreciate a status on this.
The links to image uploaded by supporting members are being broken when a thread hits archive status. This causes me a lot of extra work trying to answer questions.
Here is an example:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...95&postcount=7
and check the links in these highlighted threads.
Here is the protocol in brief.
Here are links to the original threads.
Clutch Pedal Woes--Fluid Impact
C6 Clutch Hydraulic Fluid--the Chevy Spec
Clutch Pedal Woes--Fluid Changing Kit
A Pictorial On How to Clean Out the Clutch Fluid Reservoir
If the images are hosted on CF, the links are broken. It they are hosted elsewhere, the links are preserved.
Status on the fix, please.

There is no updated status from a technical perspective.
When the steering committee was setup for supporting members, I thought that was where these type suggestions should be placed.
These are things that are forwarded to the forum owner for review and decision for action. We rarely get feedback to pass on.

There are some things that require outside work to get them fixed and it's not included in our deal with Intechnic. So, we have to pay extra to have those things done and Troy would have to request that.
