Links to threads not working

When I click on links in full-range forum for any thread, I get message "Page not found". I noticed that the links are producing html script that looks inconsistent with the link that appears for example on a google search (which works).

For example a search in google for "Karlsonator diyaudio" will produce this link which works. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/239386-karlsonator.html

But if I go to the full range forum home and click on the Karlsonator thread, I get this link, which appears to be a php script rather than a direct html address. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/showthread.php?t=239386 And this does not work, other than to produce this message: "Page not found"

This happens to almost all the links, starting this morning. I am wondering if it is affecting others. I have the problem from Android, iPhone, and also a PC. So it is not the device.

The links to PM's works fine however. I believe it has something to do with the php script not working.

Thanks,

Forum re-direct errors

Hi,

I have seen similar problems. Signing in didn't help. Rebooting didn't help.

Here is an example for a re-direct from one forum page to another that does not work:

--------------------------------------------

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/showthread.php?t=239338&page=8

Error: HTTP 404 Not Found

--------------------------------------------

Going from the same forum page to the same destination by editing the URL (changing ...-6.html into ...-8.html) works fine:

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/239338-mini-karlsonator-0-53x-dual-tc9fds-8.html

---------------------------------------------

Regards,
 
Edit the url and it will work. For example here's a link that will not work. (I added a couple of spaces so it will display the whole thing instead of truncating.)

ht tp://www.diyaudio .com/forums/subwoofers/showthread.php?t=240102&page=2

See the subwoofers/ part? That's the subforum the thread is located in. Delete that so it looks like this:

h ttp://www.diyaudio .com/forums/showthread.php?t=240102&page=2

...and then hit enter and it works.

Pano posted in the other thread that the url is doubling up but that's not the issue I'm seeing.

links: threads and their page numbers Broken

Hi,
I think you are prolly aware by now that links aren't working. Just wanted to say that this includes the links given for various pages of a thread. Starting with a google search might land you on a particular page of a thread, but when you click the link for the next page at the bottom of the page you just read, a message appears; "page not found", if I remember correctly. Thank you for your time in this. - Aubrey

Yeah, thats strange... Worked when I posted, but not a few minutes later.
Forum added needless junk to the link somehow, and broke it again...

Does not work (what you get when you click typical broken link)

"http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=239338&page=8"
Works (workaround exactly as I edited and tested it before)

"http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/!239338!http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=239338&page=8"
Does not work (how the forum helpfully mangled my working Post#2)
