Room Help link not working (0)

To whom it may concern,
The "Room Help" link on the Hints and Solutions thread sends you here to broken link:
Room Help

Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.

-------------------------------------------------------

Web Server at caravelgames.com

the actual address of the link before it is forwarded is:
http://drod.net/Help/HelpforSpecificRooms.html
It forwards to:
http://drod.caravelgames.com/Help/HelpforSpecificRooms.html

I thought is was because of the change over from one server to another but it is still giving this error.

I have resorted to just searching the tread page by page for about the right room. I have noticed more threads with non standard names have been added to the Hints and Solutions
thread this may be why.

Am I missing where this is discussed or has no one else said anything? :blush

Don't know, but as far as I remember the room help page only contained tips for maybe a handful of rooms from King Dugan's Dungeon - I'd say just dropping this link entirely in favour of a notice about the Hints & Solutions search page would be the way to go...

I think this topic may shed some light on the situation.

It's actually been unlinked for a while now, mostly since we installed the new server and the old website received the last nail in it's coffin.

And, to be honest, the reason I didn't put that page up on the new site is simply because the new H&S board is so much more robust and detailed than the other one was. A sort of circular dependency, in a way.
