Why do I get "Error Code: 102" when trying to bring up old threads

[Ike0069]

just wanted to link an old thread for Genreal Hardware that I have saved in my favorites. It's only a few months old.

Do you remember the title and/or author of the thread? Did you try a search for either? If it doesn't show up for current, try archived then.

I've been getting the same error message for threads only a few months old that I had marked as Favorites. I assume it's a bug/issue with marked Favorites that have been archived (over 90 days old).

Archived links require '&arctab=y' at the end of the URL.

This started with the more recent incarnations of FuseTalk.



Doesn't work.

Works.

Ok, that's awesome man. But how do I fix my favorites to show these old threads?

Right-click favorite.
Click Properties.
Modify the URL.
Voila!

It doesn't allow me to modify anything.

You could always just manually enter the archive URL and then save it again to favorites, delete the old entry.

He means the forum favorites, not IE favorites.

Ike:
You can copy the address of the favorite, add arctab=y to the end in the address bar, go to the thread and readd it to your forum favorites, then delete the old favorite.

Yes, it's another great "feature" of the FT "upgrades."
