The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Nope. There are two post 117's, and when I tried to send someone a link to the newer one, it linked to the older one.

Also, I bookmarked the newer 117, and then went into my bookmarks, and clicked the link, which led me to the older 117.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Gotcha. I was just looking at the last two posts in the sequence. I see it now.

I wonder if it's related to the fix ita did to get the threads to start with post #1 instead of #2? Jeff's previous recap was posted before we moved to the dedicated host, which is when we started having that problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's happened once in each thread, Perkins. This is just more obvious because it is, I think, the last.

I knew the dual posts were happening, but not the bookmarking etc.

You can only link to one of any duplicate post, and it's always the earliest. So that propagates to the bookmarks.

Huh. When I got to the end of Natter 34, I unsubscribed, then clicked the link to the new thread in the last post. I was taken to the first post in Natter 35, but the system took me to the guest mode version of the thread. Going back logs me back in, but going to the home page doesn't. Also, it didn't log me out in this browser window.

If I go from Natter 34 to the home page, and then click on Natter 35, I stay logged in. If I then go back to the last post in Natter 34 and click the link, it logs me out again.

What is even happening?

Okay, looking at Sail's post SailAweigh "What Happens in Natter 35 Stays in Natter 35" Apr 29, 2005 4:23:05 am PDT, and seeing DX's post here, I can see that wasn't my imagination. Somewhere in the unsubbing from Natter 34 and trying to get/sub to Natter 35, I got logged off. I had only had about two sips of coffee when it happened, so I can't provide more specific details.

What DX said. I clicked on the link at the end of 34 and found myself in guest mode in 35.

It was all my fault -- the link at the end of 34 was buffistas.org, not www.buffistas.org.

I'll fix my link, and now wonder how hard it would be to fix the code itself to not distinguish.

Your tag here.

You could configure the webserver to redirect requests for

http://buffistas.org
to
http://www.buffistas.org
, that should do the trick, rather than space-monkey with the code.
