Is this a bug or just coincidence? 4 threads "disappeared" since yesterday
-
By the way this is the thread I started:
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBSITE-127It didn't get any love so far...
EDIT: and this is the thread: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2219/

ah sorry i misread your post, going to the "first post since last visit" would be a nice feature to have and I voted for it :)

The bug tracker is not very romantic I'm afraid, you will mostly get hard unemotional engineer style comments from us there. :)

mariusg,
When a bug is raised who sets the priority of the bug.

I actually didn't mean to complain about the bug report not getting any love.
The idea was to say that I didn't get any comments on the thread (what is pretty unusual since the elfs came into town) but I had the wrong link there (it was supposed to be the link to the thread)....

Not to worry, I've seen it but haven't had the time to comment.
I actually wrote a much longer reply about how the DevNet is the place for love, peace and harmony - and not the bug tracker. But I trimmed it down as it was way too fruity to post...

The problem with those links is that it says the thread does not exist rather than that the reply to the thread doesn't exist.
[quote]Notice
The following errors were encountered
The specified thread does not exist
[/quote]Could it also give a link to the thread if the linked reply can't be found?

Well
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewreply/13128/
simply redirects to:
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2322/#13128If your comment is deleted, the first link (viewreply) will say thread does not exist.
The second link will just load the thread but be unable to find the anchor and start from the top of the screen instead.I know which one I prefer :)
By the way, you can keep the URL the same (viewreply). Just keep the thread info and redirect to thread when reply isn't found. Don't say thread doesn't exist :)

Regardless, the first link should not say "The specified thread does not exist". It should at least be changed to "The specified reply does not exist.". Even if it does not help you any further. Ideally on the reply-does-not-exist page it would have a link to the top of the thread.

[/quote]I changed my mind, that is the one that makes more sense. +1 for "this reply doesn't exist, but the thread is here".

I vote for this message if the "removed reply" was the only one since my last visit, but if it wasn't, I prefer to go straight to the next reply (since my last visit). If I am interested on a thread I want to read anything (and just) new.
The fact that one reply was removed (probably for good cause) does not affect my desire to read the next reply on the thread. I don't want to go to the first post on the thread and start digging to find where I stopped reading.

[quote author="mariusg" date="1292079743"]We have /viewreply/13128/ instead of /viewthread/2322/#13128 because threads might be merged and that would invalidate the link. That's the logic, but we shall find a better error message, possibly with a link to the original thread.[/quote]
Thank you. That way the next time I make a mistake about posting and have things deleted I won't cause as much of a problem. :)

Bradley, no issues, keep the good posts coming in
