Links to NYT broken

May 20, 2001 6:32 PM

Following up on an earlier thread in which, a while back, it was suggested that links to the NYT be automatically be switched to channel.nyt.com.

I posted a thread with a couple links to www.nyt.com in it. I had actually originally made the link to channel.nyt.com, but when I tested it it didn't work, so I made the switch back to the working www.nyt.com URL. (My guess is that channel doesn't work for links to special "sections" like the Book Review.) It looks like Matt put in the switch to channel, however, and now the links are broken. So this is (1) a heads-up about the problem to Matt, (2) a plea of "it's not my fault," and (3) a request to fix the links, if possible. Thanks.

I think that most, if not all, NYT articles that work with channel.nytimes have a URL like www.nytimes.com/yyyy/mm/dd/morestuff - is there some way to convert those to channel.nytimes without affecting the others?

Thanks for fixing the links, Matt/posse.
