Need to Find Hack that Redirects Archive to Showthread

[Michael2]

I need help finding a hack. I thought it seemed like a good idea, when clicking a thread name in the archive it sends you to the actual showthread page on the board. Well, my archive outperforms my regular pages by far with AdSense so I want to undo the hack. Only now I can't seem to find it.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Know where I can find it? Thanks!

That link is already there in the top.

Huh? I guess I didn't explain it well. When you're in the archive and looking at the list of threads clicking a thread title will take you to the actual thread on the board (not the archive).

[Marco van Herwaarden]

That defeats the sole purpose of the archive, and would probably kill your SE rankings.

[Michael2]

I'm not asking if it's beneficial or not. I'm trying to find the hack so that I can figure out how to uninstall it.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Oops i misread your first post, didn't see you where trying to uninstall. Sorry can't remember seeing this hack.

Just upload the original archive/index.php ?

[Michael2]

Yeah, I think that's what I'll probably end up doing. The thought crossed my mind earlier. I'm at work now so I'll just do that when I get home.

Thanks for the help! :)

Still need help with this. Uploaded the original /archive/index.php and /archive/global.php and it's still doing it.

I don't really see how that is possible ...... what is your site url ?

[Michael2]

Click a thread name...

That looks like an Apache Mod-rewrite rule to me that is converting the urls.

[Michael2]

Do you know how I would check for that?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Check for a file called .htaccess in your forumhome directory.
