Important note
If an old (before 2005) MersenneForum post is referenced with no letter prefix -and- it is the first post in a thread -and- the thread is more than one page long, the first post on the final page is incorrectly shown. The M# prefix should be used to prevent the problem. It is only needed for such posts prior to 2005. See example below.
Examples
*MersenneForum: old {{HistLink|2019-04-04|512625}}
*MersenneForum: new {{HistLink|2024-08-29|1052550}}
*MersenneForum: 1st post of thread {{HistLink|2003-05-29|M#634}}
*Free-DC forum: {{HistLink|2009-08-08|F#19810#138596}}
*PrimeGrid forum: {{HistLink|2018-09-28|P#8220#120807}}
*NFS@Home forum: {{HistLink|2018-10-10|N#459#1944}}
