Hi Barry,

I have sent you a message via the contact page. I'd love to get this sorted out soon :D


I just sent you the code to do this. You were trying to link to the ID of the page, you can't do that. You have to use the search engine friendly style of links just like the RSS feed does.

I'm only asking for the id, whether it's psId, relId, etc. Knowing that tables use primary keys is not really a security issue.

Security through obscurity isn't really an issue here when the forum source code is available for purchase.

If only 1 field is required to pass to the threadView page, what table field is it that is bound to the querystring?

Ok. Can you tell me which fields in the database I would query to return the last 5 posts (across all topics)? All I want is the name of the person who posted it, the first 50 chars of their post, and the id / key I need to link to the page that will show the post and all other posts in that thread?

Also, I am subscribed to this topic, but replies are never received when they are made. I've checked spam filter and nothing is there. Using gmail (had same problem with hotmail too).

Help would be appreciated.

I just wanted to add, in the new forum version, if I consume the RSS feed provided and click the link the feed provides, the page it opens when the link is clicked only shows 1 single post (the latest one) in the entire thread. Where are the other posts?

To illustrate what I mean. If I go this topic

http://forum.itcn.com/topic/83/error-reporting.aspx

and click "resource not found" thread, I am taken to this page http://forum.itcn.com/thread/5187/resource-not-found.aspx which shows 2 posts in the thread.

Now, if I open the RSS feed here http://forum.itcn.com/rss/, the last 10 posts are shown. When I click on the last one (which at this stage is "resource not found" url http://forum.itcn.com/thread/5187/re-resource-not-found.aspx#post5188), I am taken to this page http://forum.itcn.com/thread/5187/re-resource-not-found.aspx#post5188 but only 1 post in the thread shows up! The URL should show the same thread with all posts but it doesn't.

I hope that info helps explain what I'm trying to achieve a little clearer.
