Go to new post broken

[jcarle]

I cannot view new posts, the go to new post button/link no longer works for me.

It works for me in Opera.

IE7 works fine too.

I understand it works for a lot of you, but it does not work for me. I think a lot of you know me well enough to know that I'm not having a browser issue that I'm aware of. I'm using XP Pro with IE 7.

It doesn't work here too (Opera 9.50 beta, version 9745 and few versions before). Although I have some non-standard user javascripts that sometimes break entire javascript functionality, at least this feature (go to new post) worked until December.

I think the reason might be, for example with this thread, that the button that points to the latest post of this thread is:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=111182&view=getnewpost

while the actual page when opened has the URL modified like this:

http://www.msfn.org/board/post-broken-t111182.html&pid=730511#entry730511

Notice that it has part of the topic title in the URL.

I hope it's fixed now.

I hope it's fixed now.

Yes it is! I would have posted earlier, but thought it was just my weird Opera configuration, hard to troubleshoot.

Thank you.

Didn't mean any offense. Just trying to build a complete picture for the admins so they can address it quickly and effectively.

Dunno wht's wrong with your browser but it works here without any issue.

Don't know what you did, but it works like a charm now. Thanks.

just to confirm that your not going crazy jcarle, I had the same problem earlier -clicking on http://www.msfn.org/board/get-new-posts.html just redirected me to http://www.msfn.org/board/ i would have posted but i was at work and just checking for a second (kinda in read-only mode)

That doesn't mean that jcarle isn't going crazy

Today it's broken again. Just goes to the top of the thread, same way as described in my post #5 in this thread.

I switched to Opera 9.50 beta 9789 today. Probably that's the cause, but I just wanted to report/see if anyone else is experiencing the same.

But, because the links are again containing part of the topic title, I think something else in the forum platform was changed. The style of links shouldn't depend on the browser, should it?

*Edit: reverted to Opera9.50 beta 9770 and all is good now. The new version is b0rked, also on other sites. Sorry for hijacking the thread.

...And today it's broken again. Not a BYTE touched in my config.

Again, just goes to the top of page, not to any post.

Don't know what to think of it? Once a month, like clockwork...

No problems here.

Perhaps this is similar to the Google SEO bug that resets people's thread format preferences?
