Ok...that is very very good news to hear then.

That being said the only links that would be broken here are old dropbox links and the like....which then make for less a horrendous nightmarish mess.

So ...if there is no intent to do the finicky 1-by-1 link address altering for each messed up itt link (I don't blame a soul here for not wanting to...hell gives me the willies )
...then making this a knowledge commonplace by putting it on a neon flashing banner sticky with pictures of stein's of beer and strippers on it...detailing the brief "how-to" will definitely not be lost, forgotten, or ignored.

So ....if I find any itt links that don't work with this patch method ...I'll post them in this thread... for community perusal and puzzlement...

big thanks peterleinchen...
