Tcl-URL! - 1999/04/05

by Mark Roseman - DejaNews: [1]

I hope everyone who was able to take some time off enjoyed the long weekend. We wanted to note that Dejanews no longer is resolving URL's of the format "/thread/<articlenum>" which we've been using on Tcl-URL! As a work-around, you can change these to the "/getdoc.xp?AN=<articlenum>" form, and then click on "thread" on the resulting page.
