Many times when I click on the image for 'Go to first new post', I get:
"No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster."

If I click on the thread and then click on 'View First Unread' I get to the first new post. Is this only me? I am on IE6.

Is this something that no-one else experiences? Probably something with my IE settings?

This problem persists even with Firefox.

New problem: Any clue what the Active Threads results are ordered / sorted by?Also, try clicking on anyone's nickname in the Last Post column - and you get:
"This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view."

Even for Danny. :rolleyes: Whoever wrote this forgot to pass the memberid or userid to the querystring in the URL. It reads:

It's never worked. Drives me crazy! I'm glad you said something, Polarmate!

Yeah, I first said something in June. I didn't expect a response this time either but figured I might as well get it out of my system...

Thank you, Lex!

I've passed it on to our developers.

issue should be fixed now:)

note from the dev team:
The links were being rendered as /showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=1379 -- note the character code for ampersand where there should be only the ampersand character. Some browsers understand the character code to mean the character itself, but IE 6 apparently does not.

please let us know if other browsers cause issues.
