In the list of recent threads, under the new forums view, if a thread has multiple pages of responses it shows eg 1,2,3,4,5 beneath the thread as hyperlinks.

I think these are supposed to each link to the relevant pages. They actually all take you to the first page.

Well spotted Michael,
It doesn`t seem consistent though. In fact the link you illustrate is one (ay=t least for me) works. When I `hover` over the links I can either see them change or not. Another thing for the programming bees to sort I guess!

I think it might be one of those cases where it takes you to your first unread post, instead of the page. Does this happen with threads you've read before, or just new threads?

(We've noticed something glitchy along this lines, but we've never been able to pin down what's happening so we can fix it. So, the more information you and others can share, the more likely we'll be able to fix this! Thanks!!!)

I've only ever seen it take me to the first page, not to my last read post. It seems pretty consistent. When I hover over the numbers the url is the same for each of them in that thread.

I just tried a bunch of others.  They all do the same, except for the "how to get rid of raccoon problems??" thread. It doesn't seem to be links to the last read comment, as if that were the case it would change when I reloaded and used the links again.

Does this happen only on the forums homepage?

Good question! Yes, it seems to be the forums homepage.

I navigated to the "tinkering with this site" subsection and checked the links there. They appear to be correctly taking me to the right pages. Same on a dozen other threads accessed via their subforum pages.

Michael,

We have made some changes to fix it. Please report if you see this happening again.
