Well, I just discovered a glitch with thread names. The thread named [][][][][][] or w/e is unable to view both the last comment on it, or any page but the first. Why? Simple. Because the [] symbols cannot show up in the url, so it leaves it blank. There is usually a slash, the thread name, then another slash, but without a legible thread name the two slashes are next to each other. Which is basically why clicking on page two of that thread results in a 404. Proof?

Two slashes next to each other.

I expect a lock for this by the way, it is just to point something out.

And before you all say 'Its a minor glitch ignore it' make sure noone else already said it. I don't want spam threadz!

Man, I hate double posting...

If anyone finds a way to view page 2 of that thread without renaming the thread they receive a cookie. Plus, they are smart.

Later

I found a way! Click this link and ignore my spam (lol) Yay! It works!

Seriously, ignore my spam. Flag it too.

There is a feature of the site code and URL parsing that treats slashes differently. For example, a slash that starts a line ends up having another slash next to it, for reasons I can't figure. Maybe it's to do with a glitch with <br />?

in forum posts you get an accented uppercase A before a symbol...kindof annoying but i'd still use it

in your about it almost always works without anything else

You're talking about the special symbols... Yeah, that happens... And you can't have them as a thread title.
