Dave R Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 Does anyone know what happened to this site? http://www.thejapanesesword.com I found it very useful, especialy for tips on Tsuka Maki from the Japanese contributer. Quote
mtexter Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 looks like it's still alive and well as far as I can see... hmm Quote
16k Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 Uuuhm! Probably a glitch! When I click your link, Dave, nothing happens.🤷♀️ Quote

Something going on here. What I am trying to get to is https://www.thejapanesesword.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=29 but I get a 404 Not Found. When I truncate it to get to the homepage I get a different site completely. Quote
Babu Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 That's one of the Paul Martin's sites but the forum is not on there from my search. Did Paul have a forum is probably the right question. If not the web address is wrong. Quote
Gakusee Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 I think the answer is reasonably simple: the website exists, Paul is around and very much in business but has likely discontinued his forum probably due to the headaches involved in managing one. 2 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 Today your first link is working for me. It didn't when you originally posted. The second link doesn't work, though. Quote
Brian Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 I fixed the first link. It is easy enough to check your post when posting, and if something isn’t working, hit edit and fix it. There is even a small chain link icon where you type your post, if you want to add a link. I still need to check if links are auto converted to clickable or if I need to change a setting. But sheesh...cut and paste? Quote

Expand I think you have the right of it there. It is the Forum that I miss though, there were some good tips and information on Ito-maki. The main site, which I never even looked at before was not the one I was interested in. Sometimes I get very closely focused and miss the bigger picture. 1 Quote
