Basic question after upgrade: How do you enter the URL of a thread?
 

Ever since the upgrade, the URL on all threads remains http://www.flyertalk.com/milesfr.shtml as you move around the different forums. In contrast, before the upgrade the URL contained some kind of serial number. So my question is, how do you now reference to a thread in a posting?

Hopefully this will get solved by the admins.....

But in the interim, one way around this problem is to go to the forum homepage (i.e. United, Coupon Connection, etc.) and right-click (this is using IE) and choose Open In New Window.

The "old" forum URL should appear in the Address bar.

Also, at least in IE, when you hover "the hand" over the list of threads in the forum homepage, the url should also appear in the Status bar (right above all the icons on the bottom of your screen when using Win-x).

If you are using IE5 right click on an open space on your screen and click properties and that will give you the correct information.

Looks like it is fixed now.

Unfortunately, it is not fixed.

My mistake.

Apparently, if you open a forum (Technical Issues) in a new window, any threads you go into will then show the URL up on top.

You are correct - the original problem still exists.

This is due to HTML FRAMES!

If you right click on the board you want and choose "Open in new window", the real URL will be revealed, and you will be out of the frame set.
