Starting now, the links to old forum posts will work. Here is how you will see it.

If you have a link to an old forum post or if you search for an old forum post in a search engine, you will be able to click on that link.

It will take you to forum.solidworks.com (mapped to the old thread id) where you can see the post itself.

Clicking on "Read the forum" will take you to the SWYM community where you will be able to see the full content with comments.

It will work with all your saved links. 

We are in the process of migrating the data from old forum to SWYM in chunks. We know that you, our community members have taken time in answering questions. Every single question and content should be attributable to the right person during this migration. We are doing it in a carefully planned fashion to protect the value that this community has built over so many years.

Once we are done with full migration, every old post will work the way it is described.

Until then, for any data that we have not migrated to SWYM yet, you will see following behavior. 

When you click on a link that points to a post that has not been migrated yet, instead of "Read the forum" you will see "Coming soon". As soon as the data for that post gets migrated, it will automatically turn to "Read the forum". 

We will keep you updated, and thank you so much for your patience while we go through this migration. Please keep on providing us with your valuable feedback.
