Mmmm seems as though the links no longer work - a by-product of the site upgrade no doubt. Just thought I'd bring this to the mods' attention :)
 
Yes I'm aware of the problem - I will go over the links when I've got time so bear with me ;)
 
Links to SalsaForums posts and threads were like viewtopic.php?p=nnnn#nnnn and viewtopic.php?t=nnnn, and now after some software change they are like showthread.php?p=nnnn#postnnnn or showpost.php?p=nnnn and showthread.php?t=nnnn, with different numbers.
The previous links don't work anymore and lead to an error.

We can now search by Key Word(s) on Titles Only, so we can retrieve a thread knowing its title, however it looks like we have to exclude some words from the keywords (maybe small ones).

General advice: When giving a link to a thread, it's better to give it's title and not only it's URL, and doing a link showing the title is easy with some simple tag (url).


Thanks to MacMoto for providing these threads titles.

So here it goes (with number of replies at the time of checking):

There have been many discussions about Colombian Salsa over the years. If you use the search function I'm sure you can find them and add them to the list.
 
Thanks for sharing such a great list of dance threads. I am sure it would help many users who love dancing and are keen to know about different styles of salsa.
 
Around the world many people talk about de The Cuban Salsa Style never visiting Cuba. How can they do that? I don´t know because the Cuban Style is more than style, it is a philosophy of living and dairy behavior. Take in mind that in Cuba any three four months baby is able to follow the music rhythmically with the head. It sound incredible but it is true. I saw many people abroad dancing Cuban Style and I can´t understand who trained them.
