Oct 16, 2011 at 21:46 comment added Shog9 Bummer, looks like the querystring throws it.
Oct 16, 2011 at 20:43 comment added gnat @Shog9 somehow, archive org wayback machine failed to recover Sun forums links I was testing it with. Feel free to test it eg with link mentioned in this question
Oct 15, 2011 at 20:52 comment added Shog9 Y'know... If you run out of flags, you could always replace the broken links with archive.org versions...

Oct 15, 2011 at 16:44 comment added user50049 @gnat Well, still good digging, nonetheless :)
Oct 15, 2011 at 16:41 comment added gnat @TimPost no automation sorry - this list is just a remainder of manual work done to forums.sun.com links: 1) I converted to forums.oracle.com where it was easy to do 2) ignored those where presence or absence of the link didn't make much difference to me 3) bookmarked for further investigation answers where I felt there was a chance to convert to oracle with some additional effort 4) flagged remaining answers which looked as good candidates to convert to comments or delete
Oct 15, 2011 at 15:19 comment added user50049 Just curious, have you come up with some clever way to query for 'mostly link' answers and test them automatically? This was quite a series :)

This was posted as an answer, but it does not answer the question. It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether.

Oct 15, 2011 at 7:03 comment added Yi Jiang I think you should have stated explicitly that you were flagging these for the broken link. The one time I did that the flag was accepted and the answer deleted
