Issue with redirects on some forum pages

Unread post by kr_nz » 2018-01-31, 20:33

I hope I have this in the right place.

First, OS is Linux Mint 17.1, 64 bit.
Browser is Pale Moon 27.7.1 (64-bit)
Plugin data below
Extensions Noscript 5.0.6, Ublock Origin 1.13.8, Adblock Plus DISABLED.

There is more information on this at http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/61-hon ... ost5302769 (I am the thread starter).

What is happening is that on some of the topics at hondashadow.net, when I am logged in to the site, I cannot view the second page of the thread (where a thread has 2 or more pages). This does not affect all such threads. When I try to visit the 2nd page the page starts to load but then I get redirected to the 1st page of the thread. There is a box near the top and bottom of each page that lets you select pages by clicking on a previous/next icon, by clicking the page number, or by clicking an icon that brings up a "go to page #" box. All of these fail. Also, if I copy and paste the URL of the second page into the browser OR manually type the URL this issue still occurs.

I use Open VPN + Pihole, however the issue occurs whether I have the VPN client running or closed.

I am happy to try to provide any other info I can.

What happens when you not logged in?
For given link it shows log in screen, and no forum.

Forum is heavy on javascript, but i could navigate threads and topics with js totally disabled.
Forbid by noscript all js crap except www.hondashadow.net and try.

"Heavy" is not the word I'd use! :)

I use No Script to block most JS. I allow 2 to run on that site, hondashadow.net and ajax.googleapis (the latter I do reluctantly!), to get some functionality I like from time to time.

The link in the code that gets generated looks fine, looking at the source of the page at http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/93-mem ... stion.html (which is one of the pages that are acting up)

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: pagenav -->
<div class="pagenav" align="right">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_control" style="font-weight:normal">Page 1 of 2</td>


<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: pagenav_curpage -->
<td class="alt2"><span class="smallfont" title="Showing results 1 to 10 of 13"><strong>1</strong></span></td>

<!-- END TEMPLATE: pagenav_curpage -->
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: pagenav_pagelink -->
<td class="alt1"><a class="smallfont" href="http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/93-mem ... ion-2.html" title="Show results 11 to 13 of 13">2</a></td>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: pagenav_pagelink -->
<td class="alt1 nextpage"><a rel="next" class="smallfont" href="http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/93-mem ... ion-2.html" title="Next Page - Results 11 to 13 of 13"><span class="sprite greater-than"><!-- -->&nbsp;</span></a></td>

<td class="vbmenu_control" title="showthread.php?s=57a2b17b3d3539bf67e44f825160ecd1&t=548729"><a name="PageNav"></a></td>
</tr></table></div>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: pagenav -->

Another thing to note is that it generally only affects page 2 of a given thread. If you look at http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/53-gen ... t1100.html it will load pages and 3 happily, but I cannot get page 2 to load. Further, there is a function for logged in users to change the number of posts visible on a page, options of "forum default", 5, 10, 20, 30(?) and 40". If I take a thread with 27 posts and set the number to 40 I can see them all in the first page. If I set the number to 5 then posts 5-10 are not available, but 15+ are. Pages 3 and up load perfectly OK.

I've checked the page at http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/93-mem ... stion.html (and the second page, http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/93-mem ... ion-2.html) with PM, Waterfox and Opera (all I have installed on this machine), Opera is the "see how bad a page really is" with no JS or ad blocking. Only PM is affected by this error.

I still feel that this is a server-side issue BUT it oddly only affects PM.
