Links do not direct to thread/forum?

Say for instance someone posts a link to this:

http://hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29

http://hardforum.com/?f=29

When I click it the url turns to: http://hardforum.com?f=29 which just shows the Optical drive subforum. It does not show the threads within that forum.

Same goes for threads.

This: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1584365
turns into:
http://hardforum.com/?t=1584365 and again does not load the thread.

I can go in and manually put the forumdisplay.php or showthread.php back in and get the thread/forum to load but that's a bit weird.

Anyone else have this issue?
 
Works fine for me in IE8, IE9 and Chrome. I'm betting on your browser settings. Enable cookies for the forum.

This happens with Chrome/IE8/Firefox at work, as well as Chrome/Firefox at home on OSX.

Had another member confirm the same issue I was having, and he runs Win7. I'm running XP.
 
OP, are you running anything like greasemonkey or other add-ons?

Adblock Plus is about the only thing. No greasemonkey. But as I stated a moment ago it happens in IE8/Chrome at work and Firefox/Chrome via OSX at home and I don't have any extensions for IE8 or Chrome in either location.
 
I'm the other forum member Mindflux is talking about. Same thing happens to me. I'm on Win7 x64 Firefox (Ultimate at home, Pro at work). It's really odd. I just tried this on IE8, and the same thing happens. Very strange. We are on two totally different networks too (me in Illinois, he in Texas).

I can't repeat it on my end with any of those. Can you try clearing your cookies and doing a DNS flush?
 
Weird. I'm seeing the same thing on those links.

Kyle, perhaps this has something to do with the rewrite you guys are doing to eliminate the www?

Raw, this is what I'm seeing:

Has nothing to do with cookies/bookmarks/DNS/etc. Did the above from one of my dedicated servers using wget, which doesn't understand any of those things. Looks to be purely server-side to me
 
I seem to be having the same problem, Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac OS X 10.4. For example, I have a bookmark for:

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1445755

When I use it, it goes to:

http://hardforum.com/?t=1445755

Which doesn't work.

When I go forum searching to find the thread, the correct url is:

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1445755

Am I really going to have to not only find all my bookmarks and edit them to the new urls, but also to all of my posts here that link to hardforum posts and edit them too? For example, the problem me and x509 had in this thread:

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036815360
