Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

I've no idea who it is.

Analytics data is aggregate, and if you start drilling down too much Google will not show any data.

Was it an intentional decision to change the favicon? Because now the Islington cycle club and lfgss look like the same site at a glance as they both have the "M" icon.

Not the most pressing of issues, I know.

You mean... something like an FAQ for those who migrated from the vBulletin version of LFGSS ?

Almost exactly like that, hadn't been back to page one

could you add the link https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/253146/ to the first post or better if you have one

Good idea.

Noticed in a few places that youtube links are throwing up 3 or 4 of the same video (e.g. https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11752536/). Chrome on Windows 8.

I can't log into my account any more. I'm Sam Doman, and my old email address, which is associated with the account (samdoman@gmail.com) is no longer accessible. Is there any way for admin to change the email address on my account, so I can still log in using that account?
Thanks,
Sam

That's interesting... I'll look into that now and then get back to the queue of PMs.

Awesome, cheers!

hopefully he wasn't just enquiring

This is happening to me today on Android/Firefox, iOS/Safari and MacOSX/Safari. I've logged out and in again to Persona.

I logged in and out a few times and Marked All Read as well but it made not difference. I presumed it was an IE10 things as I normally use FF but don't have access to that at work at the moment.

Logging in and out won't make any difference to anchors not working.

Yes, I discovered that!

Well we know why it happens; browsers chose to interpret a vague paragraph of an old RFC in a way that meant that they abandoned the #anchor during redirects.

On other sites, my browser is happy to be redirected from, e.g.

randomforum.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=97074 to randomforum.com/showthread.php?p=2994810#post2994810

or

timetriallingforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=92586&view=getnewpost to timetriallingforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=92586&pid=1284720&st=30&#entry1284720

the #anchor in the query string of the redirect url doesn't get lost, and the browser jumps to the #anchor when I get there. In the olden days, Opera used to have a problem jumping to an #anchor because it jumped there and then rendered all the images and the anchor point rapidly disappeared off the bottom of the screen, but New Lfgss is the first instance I've ever seen of the #anchor not appearing at all.

"Today" button is lovely. Thanks.

@Velocio

This, so good.

That's not a "redirect" in the sense that velocio is talking about - that's just a straight link to another page on a website with no redirection going on. The redirects that are affected with the dropping-anchors problem are true redirects, those that involve a 3xx HTTP status code. The redirect happens on the server, in the background, after you've requested the original resource. So that's why it's handled differently on timetriallingforum.

(I don't know why NLFGSS uses 3xx redirects in this way but there's presumably a purposeful architectural reason for that)

Google

I did notice that Old LFGSS links all redirect correctly to their new URLS so figured that the redirection could be an artifact of that - allowing everything to keep its old pagerank. Thought of that while I was in the bath 20 minutes ago, just like Socrates in that film that time.
