Why whenever I click the aforementioned thread does it take me to the homepage?
Am I supposed to infer to start there or is there something strange going on with the thread?
This is a discussion on CB I didn't know where to start within the Chat Room forums, part of the MHB Lounge category; Why whenever I click the aforementioned thread does it take me to the homepage? Am I supposed to infer to ...
I'm pretty sure most of those views are accounted for by me trying to open it!Originally Posted by CaptainBlack
In the end I convinced myself that the thread was meant for the helpers/mods/admins forum and got posted in here by mistake and left a shadow after it got moved. I left it in peace after that. But now that you imply it wasn't...
OK, when I click on a link to that thread it takes me to the main forum page, when I click on the thread in the Chat Room it opens!?

test: http://www.mathhelpboards.com/showth...-to-start-quot
which fails!

OK, I bet it is the quotes in the thread title.
http://www.mathhelpboards.com/showth...where-to-start
No it is a fault with the link, the test that works has the post number while those that don'e don't!
Finally, by editing the test I got a URL with a post ID tagged on:
http://www.mathhelpboards.com/showth...=2982#post2982
which does work!!??!
I think it is the post ID number that is used to find it and renaming has no effect on that. The original offending post seems to have no post ID number. Changing the thread title has no effect on the ID number.
I am wondering if this is another problem related to copy and pasting formated text?

The day that you posted this thread I had the same issues but now all of those links work fine for me. I think the lesson here for us is not to use quotes in thread titles in the future unless I can figure out a way to fix this problem.
Isn't there a way to disallow characters in thread titles? I didn't see anything in Censorship that seemed to work, other than banning quotes in the whole forum, which didn't seem right. The Censorship options don't seem to distinguish between thread title and post body.

"It is almost impossible for me to read contemporary mathematicians who, instead of saying, 'Petya washed his hands,' write simply: 'There is a $t_{1}<0$ such that the image of $t_{1}$ under the natural mapping $t_{1}\mapsto\text{Petya}(t_{1})$ belongs to the set of dirty hands, and a $t_{2}, t_{1}<t_{2}\le 0$, such that the image of $t_{2}$ under the above-mentioned mapping belongs to the complement of the set defined in the preceding sentence.'
