Restoration research Icon

todd66442 · October 26th, 2009, 09:57 AM

Just wondering if it's me or computer issues. Why doesn't the restoration icon in the Tech part of this site not work? Is it discontinued?

Thanks, never noticed that before. Maybe Paul can figure out why and fix it.

Not sure what you mean by the "restoration icon." Can you post screen shot here, taken from another forum, of what you mean is missing?

I think it's the button that say's "Restoration Search" on the left after you click on "Tech" at the top of the page? The page can't be found thing comes up when you click on it if that's it.

I always wonder why that "Dealer Listings" button was added? It makes that bar wider than the rest of the page when you're logged in?

Can't speak to the dealer listing button, that was done by our owners. Maybe they know something we don't, and Oldsmobile is back in business, and they have a secret link to dealers?

Ok so Tech, then Restoration Search, takes me to this page http://www.classicoldsmobile.com/sea...rch/search.cgi which appears to be a broken link. Is this what you're referring to?

That is what I think he was meaning. I did the same as you and got the same error screen. So is there truly a link that simply needs correction or is there no database where the link points to?

Yes this is what I was talking about exactly!! Thanks.
It would be great if there was a data base for folks to go to basically
to see how to fix/restore a part? I've been to sites like Ultrahighcompression.com
which is full of good stuff, or even Bro442 for the 65 442, I'm sure there are others
but not many places to look for how to's on OldsmoBubbles. I was just wondering
why it was not working.
