Strange Go To New Post Issue....

I have a support ticket open, but also do want to check and see if others are facing this issue or if I'm the only one.

I seem to have a problem with the link that is supposed to take users to the newest post in the thread. This problem seems to happen on threads with more than one page...

For legacy reasons, the link is as follows:

http://www.site.com/forum/newpostinthread139831.html

When I click on this, I get

Directed to http://www.site.com/forum/showthread.php?p=990331

This does not scroll down to the appropriate part of the page.

Which should be http://www.site.com/forum/thread139831-3.html#post990331

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The forum rewrite rule for new post in thread is set to

newpostinthread[thread_id].html

I'm sure this is a configuration issue on my part .. just looking for some guidance on what I could be doing wrong.

My server runs nginx and the rule is as follows:

location /forum/ {
rewrite ^/forum/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forum/getnew.html$ /forum/search.php?do=getnew permanent;
rewrite ^/forum/getnew([0-9]+).html$ /forum/search.php?do=getnew&f=$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/forum/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 permanent;

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/forum/(.*)$ /forum/vbseo.php last;
}
if ($request_filename ~ "\.php$" ) {
rewrite ^/forum/(.*)$ /forum/vbseo.php last;
}
}


I do have a response saying "vBulletin 4 doesn't support showpost urls thats why that setting will not function for vB 4 specific" which I'm waiting on clarification.

How do you handle the newpost in thread link / redirection?

This seems to be a nginx issue. please see:
Problem with moving posts with Nginx

Hello,
I have the same probem after upgrading my vbulletin from 3.8.6 to vb 4.0.8

Deneme deneme

when I click to this link in Firefox, firstly it goes to

Deneme deneme

and than wait a bit and then redirected to

Deneme deneme

but doesn't go to new post . it goes to begin of page.

When I use Internet explorer 8

it goes to

Deneme deneme

first page of the thread!

I have similar porblem with reply message I think it is related with this problem.

Problem is :
if I replay any message from last page and if I use Firefox or Ie 8 no problem
it goes to last page's last message. But link is (Deneme deneme) it is strange..

But If I reply any mesage other than last page.

With FF it goes to begining of last page and wth IE it goes to fitst page.

ALso after upgareding vb4.0.8 I have added new one server to my load balance system but my site performance is decrease dramaticly.

My servers is use nginx and php 5.3.3

These problems are only occur when I enable VBseo from plugin page. When I disable it it runs as normal.

Best regards
