theres a problem on the go to first new post button (

) on new threads keeps on sending me to unspecified threads.. l believe it only effects the news forum however up til a few days back it did work properly.
 
I haven't been able to recreate this, but then the cookie method of handling UNREAD/READ status on forums and posts can be a little fiddly. Is it still occurring now and do you get the same problem when using another browser? I just assume you're on Firefox =).

PS “Sorry for the delayed reply.”

Works fine for me in Firefox (latest & prev. versions)

l'll have to let you know, kinda pressed the set all forums as read before l saw this post, so l'll update you later (altho l will say it has only happened in the news forum since the server glitched due to hardware issues a month back)

oh and yes l am on firefox, dont use any other browser in fact l cant stand any other browser LOL
 
you gotta be kidding, thats one hell of a load of BS when you consider how exploitable it is compared to Firefox in fact l study this kinda stuff as l have interest in security and servers.

as for the original problem reported whatever you did may have fixed it as the new post icon in thread view isnt doing what it did before.
 
the problem has occurred again, however lve noticed a common denominator, and that it doesnt affect just the new posts but also any icon as first mentioned anywhere within that page and only that art of the forum on further inspection, in fact l didnt take other posts into account like old posts with no replies that werent new posts..

lm going to add a screen cap for information.

as you can see the circles outline the problem l see, and on further inspection the only problems are on posts with no repliies.. each that are clicked on will take you to a page stating "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" and will also be noticeable by the following link "http://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk/showthread.php?p=0#post0"

What topics does it send you to?
 
none of the circled links send me anywhere except to a page stating "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" so basically it doesn't send me to any topics just a bad link that doesn't exist as a topic.

as said tho the common denominator is the fact that the only links that are the problem when clicking the circled buttons is the fact they have 0 posts, which l think could be a small bug of the system used to syndicate the news to posts
 
There's a completely new news system coming towards the end of this year that won't use the vB forum for comments, although it will share the same usernames and passwords for authentication. Until then there's not a lot I can do as it appears related to how the news system adds new topics into the forum and I had no role in coding that. I may drop a message to the author though.

indeed.. as far as l can guess tho theres a glitch in the session datas or something, then again you have upgraded to the lastest version and as far as lm concerned the latest version of VB has so many changes l didnt expect everything to work perfectly
 
It wouldn't be any fun if things all worked perfectly :D.
 
l suppose you have a point... touché
