To get to the thread in question you just need to put
mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=14638 or, better still as you would not even need to do a DNS lookup
96.89.184.237/thread.cfm?threadid=14638

Wrong again.

If you are linking to Mudcat (from within Mudcat) you do NOT need to identify the mudcat site in your link. just include what comes after the "/" (as I stated above). Links from outside Mudcat do require more.
To link to this thread, all that is required inside the angled brackets is (without the quotes) "a href=thread.cfm?threadid=162855"
