I keep getting redirected too.

I thought it might be in morse code.

I don’t think Fluther’s broken.

For some reason the ellipsis in his question wasn’t included in the address: http://www.fluther.com/194083//

When I edited the address to include the ellipsis, I was directed to his question: http://www.fluther.com/194083/.../

It could be that the question script won’t include pure punctuation, or it’s an isolated glitch.

I can’t open it too. It’s just… dots. I asked if Fluther has a muster point in case of disaster. It was a duplicate question. It edited it to. ...

The question from @RedDeerGuy1 is actually the message from outer space he was talking about.

Ok I deleted it. Thanks mods. It wouldn’t let me change it. I’m ok and had some beef and broccoli.

Sorry looks like it’s a bug caused by having no alphanumeric characters in the title. I can write a fix soon.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

@Mariah Yes. Thanks your the best.

CWOTUS's avatar

No, you’re the best.

I’m sure @RedDeerGuy1 will appreciate the compliment. ;-)

Yesterday I had a moment I had never experienced before. I was trying to post an answer and every time I hit the “answer” button my response just disappeared. It took about 4 tries and then, all of a sudden, it showed up. That was a bizarre first. haha

Good night John Boy and @RedDeerGuy1 .

@Mariah It looks like old questions with ”...” in the title or the details are now showing up as new “Questions for you”. Although… I actually would expect more questions to have ended up there if it were pulling all such questions. Could this be a result of the fix you were working on?

Mariah's avatar

I have not started on the fix yet.

@Mariah It’s weird, the first three I opened all had the ”...” which made me think that was the issue, but then there were several other old ones that didn’t, so who knows!
