Bug in linking to a post.

I don't know if this is related to the upgrade or not.

I looked at the list of posts for DC85, at the time of writing this post.

There is a link in that page which appears in the html as follows:

Note that the link goes to page 2 of the thread, but article 9, which actually appears on page 1. The correct link should be given as:

Here are actual links to try out:
9 (result 9)
9 (result 9)

Cheers -- Sylas

Added in edit: I'm finding the same problem of bad links to specific posts, where the wrong page is linked, in a number of other contexts. In the edit, I also fixed an error in how I presented the eroneous link.

On the fix to profile updates.

Percy writes:

The profile problem has been fixed. Clicking on the profile button was causing a message that you needed moderator privileges. The button now works properly.

There needs to be one more improvement before directors, administrators and moderators can moderate both their accounts without relogging in. Right now, the profile can only be modified for the account originally logged into. The linked account cannot be modified. You have to instead logout then relogin in to the linked account. I'm working on a fix, it might be done tonight.

I tried it now, logging out, and in again as "Sylas". This allowed me to access the "Sylas" profile, but when I tried to update the avatar I got a message reading "Bad user password, possible hack attempt logged."

Don't know if this is redundant given further changes in the pipline, but thought I'd better let you know.

It's a conspiracy. Nobody wants me to get to my barber.

Re: Finding the first post in a thread

I see two outstanding issues relating to message lists and new threads....

I have a new proposal pending; but it does not show up on my list of posts. The proposal is Message 1. Don't rush to approve it; it can stay there for a bit until Percy fixes the problem.
Lam has a new thread recently approved, at Message 1. He has not made other posts to that thread, and it does not appear on his list of posts.

The problem with bad links going to the wrong page of a thread appears to be fixed.

Thanks -- Sylas
