links in notifications aren'T working?

Post by PassingCloud » Sat Nov 07, 2009 10:50 am

Hiya,
I get email notifications for topics. Now, ever since yesterday those links don't work. I get to the log-in page and then it gives me a lot of numbers on the top of my browser and on the bottom it says "done". :(

When I go directly to the front page after logging in it works. :o

Weirdness.

I'm using Internet Explorer and am having the same problem. Going directly to threads works but when I click the links in the notification mails I only get a page with "website couldn't be found".

Same here (XP Pro, Firefox 3.5.5, Thunderbird 2.0.0.23).

I'm having the same problem. I'm gonna e-mail deb and let her know. For now, click the next link in the notifications "view the topic" and it'll get you to the start of the thread. It's not as good of course, but it works until deb has fixed whatever the problem is.

Now working (for me anyway).

Thanks to whoever (Deb?) fixed it.

I didn't have a time when the links stopped working entirely, but the link which used to take you to 'next unseen post' now takes me to some random page. On some threads that's a significant number of pages back and on others it's only one or two pages back. It's like it's taking me to what was an unseen post before, maybe before this issue started?

Anyway just wanted to give the heads up that the links are taking you to the right thread, but not the right post.

This is still happening. I tried unsubscribing and resubscribing to the topics but it had no effect.

Could someone please look into this? It seems no-one has looked at this thread. Maybe I should PM a mod/admin.

Is no-one else finding this?

Hmm... I am reading, but I am really not sure what is happening. I will go mention it on the admin board and see if anyone else knows what the problem might be.

I PM'd Deb too, she hasn't read it yet but all good.

Not a huge issue, just a minor inconvenience that I can live with. More wanted to let you guys know it's happening.
