Harvey and I noticed an unusual feature.

This link: .../f2/agri-starts-7102-4.html#post65390 (www.bananas.org/f2/agri-starts-7102-4.html#post65390) takes Harvey to point A

and this link .../f2/agri-starts-7102.html#post65390 (www.bananas.org/f2/agri-starts-7102.html#post65390) takes Harvey to point B

However, for me it is different. So after a little testing, it appears that permalink is not so permanent, it depends on the users forum sort preferences or something else obscure. Also, I realize that this site is built on some "plug and play" software, so the management probably has no responsibility for the problem.
:lurk:

Also, in case it helps clarify, I tired the links both in Firefox on my PC as well as Safari on my Mac. And the first link takes Richard to a page different than me. Weird.

Perma link doesn't work at all for me. I clicked it yesterday then copied and pasted the url from my FF browser into a post and it went nowhere. What is it and how is it supposedly to work?

Never mind, I see how it supposed to work, but it doesn't, for me anyway.
