bug report: icons left of title

[sabrewolf]

at least using firefox 1.07, i get a 404 page for every icon i click to the left of the title of each thread.

this is independent of the forum.

for instance, this thread links nowhere

http://apolyton.net/forums//t139598-s.html

edit: fixed URL, but still doesn't work...

Yeah, you got two slashes in a row.

[sabrewolf]

that doesn't change anything with just one slash

[sabrewolf]

looking at the source code:
< td bgcolor="#d9d9d9">< a href="http://apolyton.net/forums//t139598-s.html">< img src="http://boa.apolyton.net/forums/images/dot_folder.gif" border="0" alt="">

BTW, the t before the number is not missing in my browser, i just deleted it by mistake in my first post

Oddly enough, the two slashes are present in the icons' links ... perhaps this is the problem

[duke o' york]

That's true, and would seem a plausible explanation.
Is this easily fixed?

[MarkG]

it's not the slashes

i'll the question open for further speculation

[sabrewolf]

further speculation?
well, with the ending "html" it is obviously a static page. maybe only generated once a day or so. but i went back some months and also into the archive forums and the links did not work there either.

and other vBulletin boards i know of, do not have this link...

Apache URL rewriting not working correctly?

[snoopy369]

Although I have nothing near Gramphos' knowledge of these things ... it's got to be something like that.

It shows (on the forum version):

apolyton.net/forums/f253-s.html
where it should show (ie, the text-link shows: )
apolyton.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=253

My assumption is that something is supposed to take the f253-s.html and convert it into the PHP file there ... ie something converting "/FXXX-SYYY" to "/forumdisplay.php?s=YYY&forumid=XXX" ...

The first question is, what is it supposed to do?

provide a static version of the page. the one which would be used if the thread is archived...

[MarkG]

nope

What? Am I not allowed to speculate on things technical things now? I thought it could be related to something else using the said feature of Apache, not working well together with the forum use of it. But ofcource I've no idea.
