On a point about the link. I know it was broken to stop web crawlers finding it in our forum but surely that only needs one break.... I don't think they are clever enough to find the break and repair it.
please correct me if I am wrong.
I think it requires a little more than one break (or will, by next week or month or....) but the advice on how to do this is to change the http to hxxp, and put in one or two breaks RIGHT AT the / signs near the beginning, so that it is very easy to repair for a human reader but tells the bot it does not say http and doesn't make a good path.
Breaking in the middle of one of the path components makes it very difficult for me to put the thing back together, it's hard for the eye to search for, and hard to verify that the %20 or whatever is not some weird part of the path.
There's a sticky on that.
So a properly-broken link would have been
