    Possible Bug: Links to certain POLLS

    This is happening on 2.2.2 and I don't see it addressed in 2.3.0 (which I haven't installed until the bugs are fixed).


    When I click on the URLs to some polls, I am getting an error of
    Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

    Here are the URLs to the polls. I first discovered this by clicking on something in the WOL list.. THen I searched for the poll and the same thing happened.

    (from searching)
    http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...+nicest+saddle

    (from WOL)
    http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...ost489279.html

    And even with the proper URL I get a not found (bounced to forum home)
    http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...t-saddle-33693

    Thanks -vissa

    Hello vissa,

    I guess this is not a "view poll" link, but showthread page URL for the thread with title that begins with "poll". That makes a consufion between poll and thread URLs.

    Please note, that this will not happen with default vBSEO URLs, because showthread URL format has starting "thread_id" part. But you have a custom URL format set that makes it similar to poll url. Does it makes sense?

    The solution is to modify either showthread or poll URL format. For instance, set poll urls to:
    polls/[poll_id].html

    I just modified it, but I don't see poll urls changing. Strange.

    Also, if I try to view the results of a poll, the URL comes out like

    http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...-poll3096.html
    or alternatively
    http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...-www-3096.html

    why are the img src http and www in there?

    This appears to be a real bug.
    Here's the link to that poll's thread.

    Here is the current thread rewrite
    [thread_title]-[thread_id].html

    and the poll rewrite (changed as you suggested)
    poll/[poll_title]-[poll_id].html

    Ok, thanks. Do I understand correctly that the only problem now is adding "img-src..." part?
