When using the Recent threads page, clicking on any post gets a 404 error.

On the other hand, clicking on a link in the recent threads section of the home page, DOES work.

Here's why:

This page, linked from the home page recent threads box:

From the recent threads page:

Yes, the URL structure changed on here to keep them short and simple. It should be fixed by now.

Similar problem, discovered AFTER you posted that it's fixed...

Go to a user's profile. when selecting an item off the users list of THREADS, the 404 message appears.

Selecting something off their list of POSTS works fine.

Unrelated, I like this font a lot better than what you were testing a couple days ago, but bold doesn't appear very bold. YES, there is a difference, but it's very slight.

Ah, just saw this thread having posted this (edited) at WoV:

Somewhat confusing: accessing a two-page post invokes the last page as opposed to the way the WoV site works where the first (or most recent) page is accessed

That was fixed shortly after you posted this.

It's the way Trebuchet MS is. Perhaps we should just stick with Tahoma like WoV uses; with Tahoma the bold is more obvious than the non-bold at small sizes. On the home page I made the bold (in the list of threads with recent posts) also be black to have it stand out more.

It depends on where you access the thread from, because the system keeps track of the last page of each thread that you have read. So if you've already read the first page of a thread, and a new post makes the thread now be 2 pages long, the next time you click the link to that thread (from the home page) it will jump to the second page since you've already read the first page. (This is the same here and on WoV.)
