jaclaz Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) I don't want to seem a hassler (actually I am one ), but still the Forum links DO NOT work properly.As an example see this post:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/create-easily-second-win98-xp-same-computer-t118623-page-146.html(this link I made "manually")If you click on the actually "properly quoted" text in it, which links to:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=findpost&pid=800275the board gives you back:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/create-easily-second-win98-xp-same-computer-t118623-pid-800275.htmlwhich is NOT the right post, but rather the beginning of the whole thread! The post is here:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&showtopic=118623&view=findpost&p=800275(this is from copying and pasting from the popup when you click on the post #)which ALSO get's you back to the beginning of the thread:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/create-easily-second-win98-xp-same-computer-t118623-pid-800275.htmlThe only ways to link it seems to be:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/create-easily-second-win98-xp-same-computer-t118623-page-18.htmlorhxxp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=118623&st=18BOTH these:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&showtopic=118623&view=findpost&p=800275hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=findpost&hl=&pid=800275that should work, DO NOT.The latter is the result of a Search for "all posts made by Herbalist" on page 9 there is the link to the specific post that returns the page where the post is (as opposed to the actual post).jaclaz Edited October 5, 2009 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilko_t Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Is there any progress with the forum links to a specific post issue?It quite helpful when you can point to a specific post, especially in long threads.Or if it is working, what's the easy way to do it?

The ones that are working right now are these "styles" (see above):The only ways to link it seems to be:hxxp://www.msfn.org/board/create-easily-second-win98-xp-same-computer-t118623-page-18.htmlorhxxp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=118623&st=18jaclaz Edited January 15, 2010 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Everything fixed.Please describe "everything". Try clicking on gosh's signature (last post by gosh):http://www.msfn.org/board/apple-worth-more-than-walmart-t143010.htmlhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=143010Gosh's XP Build Environmenthttp://www.msfn.org/board/Gosh_s_XP_Build_Environment_t106064.htmlTo recap:the board can ALWAYS use links using "index.php?showtopic=" syntax"previous" friendly names are NOT understood anymore"current" friendly names are exactly as "stoopid" as we don't have any way to know if in next board update the software will be changed yet another time.please, do also note that if you rename a topic, the friendly names goes "beserk" ANYWAYAs an example, I renamed this topic:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=141678from "Installing Windows 2000"http://www.msfn.org/board/installing-windows-2000-t141678.htmlto "[sOLVED] Installing Windows 2000"http://www.msfn.org/board/solved-installing-windows-2000-t141678.htmlAnd obviously the friendly name changed and any link made to the topic will become invalid. I am writing a small javascript converter, hopefully capable to convert "friendly names" (either "old" or "new" syntax) to the "REAL" always good syntax, I'll post it as soon as I have time to finish it.jaclaz Edited April 3, 2010 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thousands are fixed. Maybe some are left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Anyway, should it be of any use, attached is the small .htmPersonally, I will use it to translate any link to it's "plain" syntax, to avoid this mess next time. jaclazEdit: Attachment updatedConvert_address.zip Edited April 3, 2010 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thx a lot jaclaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Just to clear a bit the matter the converter is ALPHA-ALPHA , it may (or completely fail to) work.Namely, it won't - at the moment - convert "ALL" syntaxes, some need still to be added.There is now an online UPDATED version here:http://jaclaz.altervista.org/Projects/Convert_address.htmIf anyone is a better javascript programmer then I am (very, very probable) and has any idea to better it, please PM me.jaclaz Edited April 3, 2010 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
