jcarle Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Working fine for me in Firefox...did you try the usual "cleaning of the attic" steps?Yes, it's nothing to do with me.I did some further inspection with Fiddler and discovered that this is SEO related. It's a bizarre combination of rewriting that's causing issues for IE it would seem.Using this thread as an example...The last post link points to /board/last-post-t137158-l.html which returnsHTTP/1.1 302 FoundLocation: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=137158&pid=878858&st=0entry878858In turn, /board/index.php?showtopic=137158&pid=878858&st=0entry878858 returnsHTTP/1.1 301 Moved PermanentlyLocation: http://www.msfn.org/board/archive-windows-98-forums-permanently-t137158-pid-878858.htmlNow, following /board/archive-windows-98-forums-permanently-t137158-pid-878858.html finally yieldsHTTP/1.1 200 OKIronically, if I paste /board/index.php?showtopic=137158&pid=878858&st=0entry878858 directly into the address bar, it'll work as expected. So something with the initial 302 is causing the failure. I'm also sort of confused as to why there's a double redirection going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrofLuigi Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) It doesn't work for me too. The "Go to First Unread" button.I reported it, and then as fixed in a couple of threads in this forum, but as soon as I did that, it broke again. GL*Edit: and this post too - after I posted it, it didn't take me to it, just to the top of the page. I don't remember it did this before.My wild guess is that it's the SEO again - it breaks either old or new links? (created at different times -when it was on or off).

AFAIK, xper is presently trying to sort this out, so it ought to be solved soon.Just a quick comment that this problem also affects Opera, not just IE.The problem coincided with me installing Opera 10 Beta 3 Build 1699 onto my 98SE box and as Firefox 2.0.0.20 remained unaffected I was at first thinking the problem was with the Beta build so I am pleased in some small way that other browsers are giving the same result.HTHColin Edited August 25, 2009 by lightning slinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash&Burn Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) There's at least three threads regarding this issue It's broken again in opera, following the following Email notification for new post:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...view=getnewpostresolves into:http://www.msfn.org/board/fileset-9-all-do...88-page-60.htmlWhich just shows the top of that page of the thread.Similiarily when you click on [new posts] icon, or when you actually post to a thread -- when the thread's page opens it is at the top of that page.

lightning slinger Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Had to start using Firefox instead of my beloved Opera, the scrollwheel on my mouse has worn out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Does it work in FF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning slinger Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yep it does, everything works fine in FF.Mind you, this last-post problem with Opera and IE does make you re-read all the previous posts in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrofLuigi Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 It's fixed now (I didn't want to bother ppl with "it's not working for me" over and over again).As always, nothing has changed in my opera configuration (I synchronize its ini file between several computers and would notice if even a comma had changed). It hasn't changed for months.Just for the record, the time of the fix was (as I see it on the front page):Your current time: Sep 10 2009, 06:52 PMYour last visit was on: Sep 10 2009, 05:24 AMso if Xper or someone else changed something during this period, that was it.
