  • Status: Not a bug

When clicking a post body link from search results or "Find Content" on a member's profile, the page does not scroll to the correct comment.

  • Title link (do=findComment) correctly jumps to the specific comment:

    https://example.com/topic/12345/?&do=findComment&comment=67890

  • Body link (do=getNewComment) does not scroll to the correct position:

    https://example.com/topic/12345/?&do=getNewComment&comment=67890

Could you confirm if this is a known issue or is actually desired behavior?

Thanks!

It actually depends on what you have set yourself within your account settings. If you go to account settings, then select content preference, you can change it here

Thanks Marc.

I get that, but it seems counter intuitive to me to click on a post in the activity feed and be taken to the thread but not to the post you clicked on.

If I'm searching for a post and click on a result, I expect it would take me to that post. That user experience doesn't make sense to me.

Several of my members have mentioned it, so I'm assuming there is a change from v4?

The content preferences actually don't allow you to be taken to the post you clicked on. The title link does, but not the body.

Please reconsider this as a bug, or advise where I might be able to edit the source code to do so, thanks 👍

I think that if I was to deliberately click the thread title, then it should do the usual behaviour as per content preferences - but if the post preview is clicked, it really should go to the post.

Is anyone still running v4 who can check for me?

Could you screenshot exactly what you are clicking on?

Yes, what you are seeing there is actually the correct behaviour

Ok, thanks Marc. I appreciate your patience.

It must just be me that it bothers 😂 I edited the php file so it's swapped on my installation and I can get on with my life.
