Heads up - GameToast moved their forums to their main page, so all the GameToast links now link to 404s.

eg:

http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=20928

Leads to a 404, while:

http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=20928

leads to the correct topic. Here's a quick link fix:
