dead links - Steffen - 2013-09-06
there are still some links online on ldraw.org, dating from the server transition.
they contain the URL "new.ldraw.org", pointing to nowhere now.
example:
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/faq/#20
can we grep for those somehow and replace?

I also just noticed that our syntax specification
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/specs/fileformat.shtml
lacks the description for custom RGB values

That page isn't the active one (old layout?)
This is:

It's the very first site. I urged Chris to take the whole thing down and I'm sure he did. Could be that it has been restored in a backup. Chris?

I've not restored anything.

I can kill or redirect links like that. I'll work on it this weekend.

It is not that outdated page alone that can be reached.
Summarize so far:
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/ - the whole folder "reference" is outdated
http://www.ldraw.org/community/ - the whole folder "community" is outdated
I am also not shure about http://www.ldraw.org/library/, but the documents showing there might link to wrong places.
JFYI

Just noticed this one on the successfully submitted parts page:
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=189#potm
Which is meant to link to the rules for Part of the Month. The link is dead but does potm still exist?
Re: dead links - Orion Pobursky - 2013-11-19
POTM along with all the other contests are inactive at the moment.
Re: dead links - Chris Dee - 2013-11-20
I have (temporarily) removed that notice from the successfully submitted parts page.
