If you come across a link on the wiki that will not load, be sure the link has .com inside of it instead of .org.

Once you make the change, the page should load right up. And please be proactive and courteous and update that wiki portion by fixing the link.

p.s. Dear server gods, if we can get redirects from the old .org, that would be fantastico! :D

Well done. WiKi is an important tool for all of us here, young and old. :p

You shouldn't need to change the domain name. I believe it will work with .org if you just include the full address (http://www.example.org). If not there's also a wiki syntax (I think [http://www.example.org *whatever you want to call your link*]).

loramin... what? project1999.org no longer exists. only .com works. you don't need wiki knowledge to figure that one out

Oh, misunderstood; thought OP was having a problem making links to .org addresses in wiki, didn't realize those links were specifically for the (now disabled) project1999.org.

This also works for old forum posts that were linked.
