There is a workaround: searching for "Stackman" in the forum got me all the posts of the story. Duh, feel free to call me an idiot. There are a lot of links that don't work in the stickies since the change, though.
Ah, well. It's kind of amazing that this forum has been around in some form or other for 20-odd years. I bet there are members who weren't even born when it was started.
