Inaccessible Post (referenced in documentation)

Hey all,
Hopefully this is the right place for this. I was reading through the documentation today, in an attempt to get my rig configured to the point where I can try the training missions, when I found the following link in the Saitek X52 Setup guide:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?153-DirectX-Shifting-Facility
When I try to follow it, i get a 404 error.
So I googled “Directx-Shifting Facility”, which brought me to a post on the forum here with a different link to what looks like the same thing:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?153-DirectX-Shifting-Facility
only this time, instead of a 404 I get “permission denied” .
I’m guessing the forums moved at some point and the 2nd link should be the one.
I’m doing my best to RTFM, but I can’t seem to access TFM in this caseIn summary there are two problems:
Wrong link in the X52 setup doc
No permission to access (what I think probably is) the correct link.Weasleteats

First link is the old domain. Trying the BMSforum domain was the correct next step.
However, I think the document in question is part of a group of documents/articles/posts that are currently removed and/or under revision due to changes with regard to v4.33.

Is there anything further I need to do to have “fixing the broken link” added to the todolist?
The document I was reading was “Saitek X52 - DX Setup Guide”It’s in the “Forward” section. “It is assumed that you’ve read the BMS-Keyfile Manual and the DirectX Shifting Facility Article in the forum.”
I bolded the text containing the link.
Please note that this is not a complaint - I’m just trying to do whatever I can to make BMS better.
