Link problems in Firefox 0.8

Hey Danny,

I've recently switched to using Firefox 0.8 for my browsing under Windows. I'm having an odd problem, though. When I view a list of messages for any forum, two types of links are not working properly for me: the icon link that should take me to the first unread message, and links to any page other than the first for mutiple-page threads. In both cases, I'm always taken to the first post on the first page.

The strange part of it is that the links look correct when I hover over them, before clicking. Let's say I want to go directly to the third page of a three-page thread. If I click the "3" from the topic list, I go to the first post on the first page. If I click on the "3" from that page, I do go to the third page correctly. In both cases, the links appear identical when I hover the mouse over the link before clicking.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks for your work on making PriusChat such a valuable resource!

Hm, I think I found a workaround. The links are not identical, after all.

The links on the first page are missing a couple of arguments that are present once you're inside a thread. This works:

Code:

This doesn't:

Code:

Is is possible to get the postdays and postorder arguments added to all links on the topic list page?

Thanks!

Reading through the phpBB announcement board, it might be an issue that was fixed in version 2.06d. They've since released 2.07 and 2.08 to address some security issues, so maybe a board update would solve the problem.

hope this helps,
