As you may or may not know, Dreamport.net has gone through some pretty big changes, one of which was moving to a new server.  We are surely expanding and becoming something far greater than before.  However, we do have some slight issues to deal with (mainly problems that were caused by the move itself).  One of the issues is our change in directory for the site.  By this, I mean that every single link, except for the main page, that was used prior to the move is now invalid.

To give an example, we’ll look at the forum.  Here are the URL comparisons of the forum index page:

Prior to the move: http://www.dreamport.net/dreamportforum/index.php
After the move: http://www.dreamport.net/forum/index.php

It’s not just the forum, either.  It’s also the pages off of the main site.  For example, take a look at the “Techniques” page comparisons:

Prior to the move: http://www.dreamport.net/?p=tech
After the move: http://www.dreamport.net/techniques

This problem exists for everything (this too includes software links, image links to images on our servers, etc..).  Skipper and I are trying as best as we can to correct any faulty URLs, but we need your help to identify the ones that we’ve missed.  If you spot any, please reply on here or on the replica forum post (URL below).  Thanks for your help and we hope you enjoy the new Dreamport as it makes its way through the front door!
