Thanks!

Any navigation element that FarCry constructs will be automatically
changed as the system is updated -- including deletes.=A0 The only
exception to this are links embedded in caches ie. you'd have to wait
till the cache updated.=A0 Later versions of FarCry 5.x (latest is now
5.2) automatically refresh the cache removing this issue.

However, links embedded in your content will not be updated.=A0 Nor does
FarCry have any specific way of checking their validity.=A0 In more
modern versions of FarCry its pretty clever in working out where to
redirect links that may have moved or changed names.=A0 But even so hand-
crafted links are always problematic -- this is why an external link
checker like Xenu is very useful.

You suggest Xenu is not working for you in terms of reporting bad
links?=A0 What seems to be the problem there?
