All three of the following links are to the second post in this topic. However, only the first two work. The third one worked until very recently, and we use it pretty extensively in our community to avoid cluttering wiki posts that reference several posts within the topic. That third link now just …

You can search your posts for URLs which match a regex. AFAIK you just need to specify anything in the title field, it doesn’t need to be the title but does have to pass something in.

You can specify anything for the title, yes. It’s not as simple as finding my posts though. It has become common practice in a portion of our community to remove the title entirely to avoid the verbose urls. So several users would have to fix all of their links. Why was this moved to support? Havin…

Because it’s something you need to fix due to unintended use, it was never a supportable thing. A bug is a feature of function that stopped working, which isn’t the case here. I’ve also updated the title to reflect what actually happened here, links aren’t created without a title, this has arisen b…

[صورة] Stephen: You can identify every broken link in one hit by looking through your database, your users don’t need to go back and fix them by hand I’m not an admin, so unfortunately I can’t do this. [صورة] Stephen: A bug is a feature of function that stopped working, which isn’t the c…

That wouldn’t fix your problem though, right?

[صورة] codinghorror: As I said, the topic ID only is indeed an officially supported form (to cover the “oops I forgot the title” case), but topic ID plus post ID is not. Oh, that’s interesting. What’s the reasoning for treating them differently? Is it not a case that people still forget the t…

It’s a pretty nasty hack, because we are treating text as numeric. Essentially it is a “wow the user is really confused, I guess we’ll do the best we can” escape hatch. It is not meant to be a primary navigational method people should be relying on, especially once post IDs are also involved.

Is detection only happening at link click? Could we detect it when the post is baked and apply a class to any funky malformed links? [صورة] seanblue: I’m not an admin, so unfortunately I can’t do this. If this is such a big deal for your community why aren’t the admins here discussing it? Th…

[صورة] seanblue: Oh, that’s interesting. What’s the reasoning for treating them differently? Is it not a case that people still forget the title but care about a specific post? It is interesting that the server side case handles it. There is a specific route for /t/:topic_id/:post_number. Th…

Back button on mouse and in browser work fine for me in Chrome in that scenario.
