vB3 Archive Page

[Destee]

After my thread with Eva in the Suggestons Forum, I thought I'd check out vB3's archive ... to see if it worked the same, displaying forumid's but not giving content ... so I tried all of the forumid's not displayed on the archive page (within reason).

Not Displayed on vb3 Archive Page

I don't know if I should be able to access any of these since they are not listed on the vb3 archive page (was able to reach some, as noted below).

I don't think you should be able to access the password protected ones but a developer will have to confirm that.

Bear in mind that a search engine doesn't just try random links. It will only follow the links it finds and as such will never find any of those other forums.
