Gents (and ladies),
I am sure that admins are working on this via a script potentially, but in the meantime...
Web archive (via wayback machine) has some snapshots of the information from the old m3forum. The latest I saw with decent info is Sept 2019. Not all pages and not all the latest posts (and sometimes not all pics) will be there, but to the extent that you have a bookmark to the old page you are interested in, try this...
1) Get the URL of the old bookmarked page. Say you want to look at the comprehensive SMG->6MT DIY. Your bookmarked URL will be something like this: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=444126
2) Take that and append it to this http://web.archive.org/web/20190907193758/ (this step might take a bit more work. To see as of which date the archives exist, look at the top right of this page and change the date via blue right/left arrows next to the date, then get the prefix string for this step 2 and use in conjunction with step 3 - http://web.archive.org/web/201908300...orum/index.php)
3) So your final URL that you will try in your browser will be http://web.archive.org/web/20190907193758/http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=444126
It is painfully slow, yes, but you can get the info you want. Sometimes you will get an error saying the page does not exist, in that case, try what I added in parenthesis in step 2 above to get a new prefix that you will combine with the bookmarked page. You basically need a new date for the archive. If all that fails, then I'm assuming we are out of luck.
I have some posts converted to pdf on my google drive, I also have a tonne of bookmarks I can share.
