I'll mention it to my guy.  Think he's only found two of these since I got him back running and upgraded, but maybe he'll want to run the diagnostic and see how many there are.

How often does anyone use a quote link?

Actually, I do it very often... especially on 10+ page threads when a member quotes something from the first page. There is no such thing as an old thread on my forum, every thread can be revived.

Although... I have to admit that I've never come across a quote link that didn't redirect me to the right post, so... yeah, I guess it's probably pointless to fix something that "might" happen in some rare cases ;).

BTW it is actually fairly easy to fix.  I have a new version of the above utility that swaps out the incorrect topic with the current one.  I've run it in all of my test environments.  Works fine.  Until the next time someone does a bunch of reorgs...

Could you post the link please ;)?

Yeah, yeah, I know ;). I'll test it ASAP and post results. Thanks :).

Not working with UTF-8 posts. Boards show up as they should (as expected), topic names too (also as expected), but not posts. Every single post that has quotes in it is mangled (question marks instead of characters).

Yikes!   Utility pulled.  It ain't worth it...

Agreed.

Database backup uploaded, everything's back to normal ;).

Lost one post though (LOL)... I apologized to the user and asked him to write it again :D.
