I noticed that the links in the recent threads plugin sometimes are buggy and lead to the wrong threads.

Just now I went to the upmost thread (Home library VS kindle book organization),

but I ended up in a completely different thread.

I've noticed it a time or two before, but usually didn't have the time for a report.

sakuko That's very odd because it only happens with that specific entry of the ones listed for today. I clicked several of them and only that one goes haywire. I'll keep investigating it and see what I can find.

You said you have noticed it before. Only recently, or off and on over a while?

But I only read a small number of the threads, so I wouldn't catch most of those errors. Oh, and I think it was always the first post of a thread when it bugged.

That makes me think it is in the numbering system. Every thread is automatically assigned a number when posted, and it is that reference number that is used in the shortened URL links. It sounds like somehow those generated numbers are glitchy. Thanks for the heads up. I will try to look into that angle, but I'm not sure I can make any changes because it is an automated process. I'll let you know.
