• We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.

WTF happened to the forum code?

all you need is the thread ID of the thread you are trying to access

forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2440723 with 2440723 being this thread's ID.

Edit:

Ugh, it's changing all the links I post. Things really are FUBARed.

forums.anandtech.com/forum14/ (wrong)
forums.anandtech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14 (correct)

Until it's fixed, if you create a bookmark with the following as the address:
Code: 
javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href.replace(/\/forum(\d+)\//,%20'/forumdisplay.php?f=$1')
then click it when you are viewing a 404'd forum, it will fix the URL.

To fix the thread URLs, use this one:
Code: 
javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href.replace(/\/[^\/]+\/(\d+)-.+-(\d*).+/,%20'/showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2')

You can trust my code, I have been a member here for days! 😀

You're hired, please fix the forum code 🙂
 
I come onto this forum to update my threads and I find out that it's all broken. NOW HOW ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO READ MY POSTS?
 
It would be nice if they would let us know in advance when they are updating things that could potentially break the site.
