Links in e-mails do not take you to the specific post in a thread.

 

Both the general topic link (https://users.cognitone.com/content/conversion-static-symbols-dynamic-s…) and the one that seems like it should take you to the post the e-mail refers to (https://users.cognitone.com/content/conversion-static-symbols-dynamic-s…) take you to the first post on the first page.

 

This is a minor inconvenience increased in a multi-page thread.

 

Surely, the second link with the number, i.e., "comment-14131" is intended to take you directly to the indicated post reported in the e-mail?

 

This may be working correctly in other browsers, but not in the version of Firefox I am using.

Yes, better is to have a number for the thread as i have used in a another forum ( i noticed this shortcoming on this forum earlier )
On this way you can refer always to the specific post with a number link.

Hmmmm ... am I losing my mind? Wait! Don't answer!

 

Anyway, on the most recent e-mail from Janamdo, clicking on the numbered thread worked!

 

Maybe it has already been fixed?

Nope ... Jan's next e-mail went back to the first entry.

 

Maybe it is a multipage thread thing? It worked when there was only one page ... but not when there were multiple pages in the thread.

Aha ... odd behavior, but now that I know I should be able to use it better.

 

It just worked for me right now.

 

Thanks.
