Am I supposed to infer to start there or is there something strange going on with the thread?
I'm pretty sure most of those views are accounted for by me trying to open it! (Rofl)CaptainBlack said:It is reporting 25 views, not all of which will have been me.

which fails!

OK, I bet it is the quotes in the thread title.

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/showthread.php?540-I-didn-t-know-where-to-start&p=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?
