last post bug

Sash · 05-06-2008, 09:22

When you click on the arrow - go to last post on the TF Arcades Fun Chat section of the main forum page you are directed to a thread that is generally from 2003. http://www.totalformat.com/forum/chi...tml#post137469 (letter to santa)

I've checked the others and it seems to be only this section that has the fault.

That make sense ?

Right, that link is now operational.

It's impossible to "fix it" though, as strictly speaking it's not a bug and nothing is broken, it's an anomoly caused by certain specific thread titles being used that coincide with the title of a previous thread, which is basically confusing the system and making the link clash and not work properly.

The only current fix, which is a doddle to do, is basically to edit the title of the latest thread that your trying to visit, so that it doesn't clash any more.

I will be speaking to the SEO developers to see if they have any kind of change to their next version code, to change the way that kind of link works completely, therefore meaning that the next version would not have that issue being able to happen.
