Problem with topic titles page

[domesticextremist]

If a topic does not have any new posts signalled, the title link points to undefined
on the threads titles pages.

I don't understand Dom, what do you mean by undefined?

[domesticextremist]

For example on the Modders board the thread titled 'Phoenix SS atty':

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/undefined

[Karma]

Ok, that link doesn't work. I could get onto it ok though through the forum

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=modding&thread=14361&page=1#282665

I can also get into that thread, either via Karma's link or going to it via the modders/rebuildable board. And I'm not getting that undefined link after I revisiting the thread.


Anyone else getting the same problem as Dom?

[domesticextremist]

Just to clarify, I don't see it on the 'Newest Threads' listing, just when
I go via the thread listing for one of the subject boards.
For instance if I go to the 'Feegback' board, this thread has the 'undefined'
problem, but is fine on the Newest Threads even if there aren't any new
posts indicated, which suggests at least that the problem is not on my end.

Dom, I always go via the boards rather than new topics & I can't replicate your problem

I've had a search on proboards support found a similar issue. Apparently one of the codes I have in the headers that takes members to the last place they read on a thread, can glitch occasionally & cause the "undefined" thread URL.

I'm using Firefox 17.0, if that's any help.
I guess if I'm the only one affected then I'll have to suffer.

Thanks for looking into it.

I was on Firefox 16.02 - have just this minute updated to 17.01 & I'm now getting the same as you Dom Looks like the problem is browser related

I'm on Chrome, no problems here

So now you have to downgrade



Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Yes I am getting the same since I upgraded to Firefox 17..Looks like it can't parse the proboards link properly..It's very random too..

[Chrissie]

I've just done a system restore & started Firefox in safe mode & I can get back into non updated threads.

Macca, I'm guessing it's a CSS coding issue?

[maccafan]

I don't think so..

I think it's the way Proboards cgi script generates dynamic links for each user taking him/her to last post that they read. Something is broken in firefox 17 that's not recognizing this and just giving undefined links..

Thanks Macca
