[answered]Email links to A2K threads - some not working

Just happened a couple more times.

msolga, maybe you could post one of those links here and see if someone else can use them.

Hey, I was just A2K some giving feedback!

Er - i think the feedback is more useful to the techies if accompanied with more detail!

That happens to me sometimes, too - and not just from emails - but from the "new posts" etc pages.

I will try to get an url next time and bring it here if it helps.

OK, I'll send some then? A whole bunch of them in my "deleted" files.

That happens to me lots of times, and the thread will be just fine, not closed or anything. I just skip over it now when it happens.

Yeah, I generally do that, too, osso. Was just doing a little "information sharing" because it happened on so many links today. Feedback & all that ....

Er. I'm not sure this will work (as information, I mean) but here's what I got when I copied one of the non-working links.

Oh well, I tried.

The error message you are getting indicates that the post the e-mail was sent about has been pulled/deleted.

Someone may have posted some sort of spam or something else that violated the Site Terms of Servce and as sson as they posted everyone that was subscribed to the thread got the e-mail.

Then a few minutes later someone (with the right abilities here on A2K) removved the offending post.

Thanks, Fishin'.. that makes good sense.

That makes sense, fishin'.
Except it was up to 8 threads yesterday ... though possibly all threads had been spammed?

Very possible. Spamers often go "on a run" and will follow a specific poster around, post in every single forum, post to the 25 top threads, etc... Anything to attract attention to whatever it is that they are posting.

Stoopid, really, don't you think, fishin'? All they do is make forum folk angry .... hardly a good selling technique!
