Tip for finding the forum links in google search

I know this belongs in the general forum, but since most people spend their time in the stock forum, I thought I would post it here too.

Since the SAOCA site went down and had to be changed to another webhost, the links found by google search no longer work. Until the google search engine has caught up to the new links, you can manually go to the links.

As an example, I want to search for rear hub removal so in the google search box I type: site:sunbeamalpine.org/forum removing hubs

One of the search results is:

splined hub removal-HELP? - The SAOCA Forum
sunbeamalpine.org › ... › Sunbeam Alpine Forums › "Stock" Alpine‎
Jul 20, 2008 – My new prodject car a 66 SV has wire wheels and the rear splined hubs are very worn and need replacement along with the wheels.

Normally, I can click on the top line and my browser will go directly to the forum link. However, no you will just get a "Error 404: NOT FOUND!"

Instead of giving up, you can manually go to the forum and find the posting using the information in the search results:
To get to this forum posting, go to the sunbeamalpine.org which takes you to the main forum page.
Then using the information from the 2nd line: sunbeamalpine.org › ... › Sunbeam Alpine Forums › "Stock" Alpine‎, go to the "Stock" Alpine forum.

Using the date Jul 20, 2008, go to the page that has that date in it. You may need to jump around a few pages to find the date. One thing I did discover is that the google date may not be the exact date on the forum, but it should be within a couple of days.

Now use top line from the search: splined hub removal-HELP?, you can find the correct posting.

I found this posting on page 140 of the "Stock" Alpine with the date of July 24, 2008. As I said above, the date is off a little bit from what the search results showed.
