What's the deal with this?
Such a vast wealth of info sitting here as a sticky and all you get is "not found" on almost all of the links.

would hate to see this go to waste.

Am I missing something or is it just gone???

When the site shifted over to the new forum format the links from the old TDS forums did not transfer properly, but if you go HERE all the links still work.

Very nice Larry......thanks.
Seems like I've seen several posts in the last few days that could be answered in your secrets thread, but had no way to point them in the right direction.

Again.........thanks for the input.
It's in my fav's now

Thanks Larry,

You spent countless hours setting that Encyclopedia of information up, I was Bummed when it would not work.

Thanks for the link that works, some great threads in there for sure.

Thanks Larry,

Your "Secrets" are, without a doubt, the most valuable resources on the entire DieselStop website.

Sadly, those commercial, money grubbing folks who run this web site don't realize it.

How hard would it be (for someone with the capability) to place a new sticky up at the top that works???

Serious question (not trying to be sarcastic)

Hey...........I now know where a GOOD working link is that could be used!

It is just amazing how much info will go to waste in the future if this isn't done.

C'mon "Sticky Gods"......throw us a bone!!!!!

Anyone posted this up in News Comments Suggestions? Larry's work around will only work as long as they keep access to the old site up. Even with the old site some of the links died when Larry "retired" and maintenance of the secrets ceased and Jason s was having issues with the Archives. That's alot of work that may potentially get lost.

I dont know much about pCs but is there a way to move the entire file to my own folder?

A few years back (and several Internet Explorer versions ago) you could download an entire web site (with working links) for off-line viewing. That is basically what you want to do as it would save EVERYTHING to your hard drive. I suspect that would make the little secrets folder quite large.

It doesn't seem to be available in my version of IE or Firefox.
I may google it up this afternoon and see I can find something.
That would be nice to have while out on the road if something weird happens.
As long as the info was strictly for personal use (not sold on cd's or whatever). I wouldn't see any legal issues by doing that.
