I think Message 175 is causing a width problem for that page.

I haven't tried my other browsers, I was just guessing because a couple of ICANT's msgs have caused similar problems.
I am running the latest FF on Lucid Puppy. AbE... It isn't doing it with Iron. Looks perfectly normal. AbE2...I must have enlarged that page to read the cartoon and never sized it back down, as soon as I ctrl - it once it is back to normal. I never realized my system remembered those changes. I just happened to notice the print was larger on that page and realized what had happened. Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.

Hi Panda,
Steps to reproduce the bug: I have had similar problems when trying to pick the link to the post with [open in new window] (right click on link) and not getting that option on the link. I find that if I do preview of the post that it works after that. Enjoyby our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

The reply-to and replies message links are URL's for messages not on the current page, and are invocations of a Javascript page positioning routine for messages on the same page. The URL for messages on the same page is "javascript:void(0)", which does nothing when used with Right Click => Open Link in New Window. This annoys me, too, and it is on my todo list.

Curious.
When I go to EvC Forum: Lies, Falsehoods and Misrepresentations I get the {Lies, Falsehoods and Misrepresentations} thread in Coffee House (that you closed) but when I go via [tid=1923] I get Frosty Spring (Previewed this says "Frosty Spring" (in Proposed New Topics) - not sure what it will show when posted) Could there be two 1923 threads? (I thought they each had a distinct number) {abe} I get the same problem with {Dendrochronology Fact and Creationist Fraud}EvC Forum: Dendrochronology Fact and Creationist Fraud and Genesis 1:1-3 Enjoy Edited by Zen Deist, : No reason given.by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

The thread id for Lies, Falsehoods and Misrepresentations is 11794. This thread just happens to be the 1923rd thread in the coffee house forum, hence that being in the url.
You can get the thread id by hovering over the message numbers in the 'replies to this message' section. Edited by AdminModulous, : No reason given.

Mod has it right, but there's some interesting history. This is the URL you were wondering about:
This is an old style URL from before the forum moved into a MySQL database, but it's actually a sort of hybrid. The discussion board software used to be written in Perl, which in web applications has a .cgi extension, so the original URL was this:
Try it, it should still work. But the .cgi files do not exist anymore, so how can this be? The answer lies in Apache's rewrite engine, which is invoked form a .htaccess file in the website's old cgi-bin directory. This causes every reference to a .cgi file in the cgi-bin directory to become mapped to a .php file in the website's home directory:
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule dBoard\.cgi Forums\.cgi RewriteRule ([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).cgi http://www.evcforum\.net/$1.php [R] But how does the software know that the 1923rd thread in the Proposed New Topics forum is the thread with ID number 11794? The answer is a map table created when I originally moved the website into the database. All this allows URL's from as long as 10 years ago to still work. Much of how well this works was made possible by member reports of problems accessing old messages and threads, so thanks to all!

I'm beginning implementation of automating the "Posts of the Month" process, and I'm going to try an experiment. Instead of implementing on my home development system I'm going to write the code on the website's server and make it publicly available. You can access the webpage as I write it. I don't have a name yet, so use this link:
Naturally WatchThisSpace will not be the file's final name, and I'm open to suggestions. Sometimes the file will be in a non-working state, in which case you might see a message like this in your browser window:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/vhosts/evcforum.net/httpdocs/WatchThisSpace.php on line 16 Occasionally the file might be so screwed up (at least from the perspective of the parser) that nothing will display at all. But right now it says this:
Under construction. At some point I'll have written enough code that it will begin doing something useful, and comments and suggestions are very welcome. AbE: For those who would like to follow along with the coding, the current state of the code will always be here:

Internet Explorer is the only major browser without builtin spell checking. There are add-on's available, like ieSpell.
