HowTo: access old Prime links that give a 404 error

As a new NSX owner, I've done a lot of researching here on Prime but kept finding threads that I thought would answer my question, only to find that the answer was just a link to an older thread that would give a 404 error when I clicked it. I finally decided to try to see if the thread IDs are still the same and usable, and found they are.

So, I want to share a workaround to help anyone else running into this. If you encounter a link like this:
Code:
http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78653

...click on it so you get the "404 Not Found" error page, then click in your brower's address bar to edit the URL if the page you're on and change it to be like this:
Code:
https://www.nsxprime.com/threads/78653

i.e. take out the text "/forums/showthread.php?t=" and replace it with "/threads/", then hit Enter, and the correct thread page should load.
