Browser extension to fix broken forum links

[kattywompus]

After a bit of frustration having to manually change the broken forum links, my partner and I put together a script that automatically redirects the user to the correct URL. Just install it into a browser extension like Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey and it's good to go!

Omg! As someone who constantly searches up resources on the forums, this is a lifesaver for me. Thanks so much for making and sharing this!

That is awesome! Works great (apart from the very brief error message before it redirects). I was manually editing any URL I clicked, so this is a huge timesaver, at least until they fix the link problem.

Many thanks for posting this!

Just a quick update to everyone, forum url links should be fixed now.

I'm still waiting for Google to recache some of the older links. I've still been getting 404 when clicking older Google links. Unless it was a new old link, and the forums when back to the old link scheme? I can't notice.

Awesome video. Btw, if you upload to Greasyfork you don't need the create new script + paste instructions. Greasyfork hosts the user.js so it works as an install link.
