Advance search of threads brings up Oops message

13 replies

FeminismandWomensFights · 13/04/2019 12:40

When I’m looking up old threads by a keyword, i’ll see a number of relevant threads given in the search results. But then when I go to click on them, many of them in the list will appear as page not found. Seems arbitrary which one in the list will properly link into the threads and which will get the oops! message. Is anyone else finding this an issue? Been like this for a week or two.

Good point. I've been coming across this issue for a few weeks now Confused

FeminismandWomensFights · 15/04/2019 10:12

Bump. Anyone else recognise this?

Is it because they were originally posted in "Chat" so have a short shelf-life, as it were?

Not all expired Chat threads unfortunately Starling.

Anything I’ve searched for from AIBU this morning has done the same

I'm also having problems with this, it's been happening for a couple of weeks now. I use 2 separate devices & it affects both.

I have found that if you click on the other highlighted part of the thread it will take you there.

MrsGarethSouthgate · 20/04/2019 23:41

So clicking the title takes you there, clicking the highlighted first sentence of poster does not.

AwdBovril · 20/04/2019 23:55

It seems to be random. I've tried clicking the title, the sentence... mostly I get the Oops screen.

From what I've seen, this only happens for posts that open with bolded text, but are prefaced with when doing an advanced search. Can anyone confirm this?

Thread here about this issue. It's been going on for some users for more than a year :
