Alerts 404 error

I'm getting a 404 from links to posts in Alerts. The posts exist if I search for them, but the link in Alerts to new posts or replies always goes to a 404.  Any clue as to a possible cause.

Can you check the links from your alerts, what do they look like, is there anything odd about the links?

The links should look like this I think
(links below are to imaginary content, and the last one should give an error if clicked here):

- To view all alerts https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;area=showalerts
- To view a specific alert https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;area=showalerts;alert=12345;
- To view the post directly through the link in the alerts list https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=12345.msg12345#msg12345

Many thanks for the reply.

The Alert URL looks like this: https://reformpartyforum.uk/general-discussion/just-a-test-593/new/index.php?topicseen#new [nofollow]

The https://reformpartyforum.uk/general-discussion/just-a-test-593 [nofollow] part of the URL takes you to the topic OK, so I guess it's the /new/index.php?topicseen#new part that's causing the problem.

I have tried uninstalling the mod and removing the data, then reinstalling, but no change.

looks like a problem with pretty urls

Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support boards.  Thank you.

Many thanks, you are correct.

Uninstalled Pretty URLs deleting data , and Alerts 404 problem went away, all Alert URLs worked. Reinstalled Pretty URLs and the problem returned. So I guess Pretty URLs and Notify Board Reply mods don't play nicely with each other.

Pretty URLs is a must, so I guess Notify Board Reply has to go.
