Re: Do links in old emails expire?

We recently discovered that a few of our older emails (sent in August/september) have links that no longer work. They all lead to 404 pages. The links go to our blog, and the pages have not moved or changed urls - so there should not be an issue. 
If I re-send a sample to myself, the links work fine, just not in the original emails.

Do email links expire after a certain length of time? 
Thanks for any help!

Hi Chris,
Back in the September release, Marketo changed the URLs in emails to be shorter. We notified everyone that the old, longer, links will expire 90 days after the release. I believe we just passed the 90 day mark and that is why your links are no longer working.
