BUG: When email is from BIMMERPOST the link does not open to first unread reply.

[grumpychocobo]

I've noticed that sometimes I get thread subscriptions from "BIMMERPOST" which comes from no-reply@bimmerpost.com and sometimes I get them from "BMW X3, X4, iX3, iX4" which comes from admin@bimmerpost.com.

When they come from "no-reply" clicking on the link in the thread never takes me to the first unread reply and now, with the new site redesign, I don't see any link to jump to the first unread like there used to be. Never complained before because that extra click was a quick workaround.

When they come from "admin" the link works correctly and takes me to the first unread.

Additional extra note if interest. The link php arguments seem to be the same regardless of "no-reply" or "admin". The only thing that changes is the emails from "no-reply" like to www.bimmerpost.com while the "admin" emails link to g45.bimmerpost.com.

No idea what the solution might be. Hoping it's something simple.

Can you paste up the link here if you still have it?

Ok, I just realized when I tried to reply to you what the problem is. It's not a bug in the site per-say but an oddity of the site using a mix of www.bimmerpost.com and other variations like g45.bimmerpost.com.

The problem? I was logged in on g45.bimmerpost.com so it knew what my first unread post was. I was not logged in on www.bimmerpost.com so it didn't thus wouldn't take me to first unread.

Fixed now by logging in to both versions though it is odd that's needed.

Ok that makes alot of sense. Id still like to fix it so it works every time, because someone shouldn't have to log in first and then open the link in their email. I just want to make sure im fixing the correct link so if you notice it again in the future have the link on hand just post it here and I can investigate, otherwise no worries

thanks

Welp, it’s doing it again even though I am logged in to both site versions. Here’s the link.
