I keep running into broken links to images that were formerly located at "www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/...". It's just a simple re-write to get those links working again. Could this happen automatically with a redirect by server-side code?

I had fixed this in the past when "images" was no longer needed but I did another more general search and found 100+ times where it used, usually where the person misspelled "http://" so I missed fixing those.

I fixed the links.

If you see any others, please post a link to the exact post where it is located or hit "Report" on it so I can fix any others I somehow missed.

Thank you.

The links aren't necessarily on thesamba.com. I've posted some, and no longer have editing access, or even
remember where they are. Knowledgeable folks can use their browser to view the link text and figure out what's going on, but most will just miss out. I imagined there would be an easy way to fix things up automatically. But thank you.
