So, the articles I sent you (which were just examples) aren't available any more at all then?

I guess if they are changing server providers as often as have been lately, a lot might go by the wayside. If that is the case, then even keeping the name of the article isn't going to help because "searching" won't find them either. I have been doing that actually, and I can't find a lot of them, so I guess this answers why.

I like to link to the NMSS because people have a sense of confidence about the information that is provided by them. I guess the only options would be to post the entire article, so that if the link goes away, at least the information is still there.

Thanks again for checking it out, and putting in the request.

If the NMSS was not the original source of the information, then it should still be available somewhere. If you do a search using the subject, you should still be able to find the article. If it was originally on the old server that is no longer accessible, then yes it's not available with the nmss url link.

The information that I reference from the NMSS is normally based on a study, combined with their interpretation of it. You are right that chances are I'd still be able to AT LEAST get my hands on the study, even if it does not include their interpretation.

The difficulty at this point is that I did not necessarily retain any words from the article/study, just the link. So, if for instance I was talking about "transverse myelits", I just searched for my prior postings on that subject, and that gave me the links I was looking for. I can't recall what the articles/studies said exactly . . . just that it was important to my point.

Live and learn . . .

I used to just keep "notes" on everything I researched, pulling from several sources into a word document/summary on a topic. That didn't work for some forums because then I couldn't remember when I had used direct quotes for some of it, or if it was my own words . . .

I started keeping only links a few years ago, and didn't even keep the words to an article. Some of the forums preferred we didn't post the article, so the link idea seemed to work at the time . . .

I've adapted before, and I will again. Or maybe this is just a sign that it is time for me to find another interest.

If you are using the search feature to find the article on the NMSS website, the name of the article is in the link..i.e. transverse myelitis.

Don't let the challenge of the old server no longer being available set you back from the great research you've done.
