Title: A caption appearing after first post of a thread is not properly linked!
Post by: 100bitcoin on November 06, 2019, 11:45:55 PM
Caption: Satoshi admits he's a wet blanket

Proper link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=234.msg1976#msg1976

Linking is correct in https://bitcointalk.org/captions.php, but wrong when appearing in a thread after first post.

I, somehow, missed the wrong link and it is not appearing for me again. :-\ But I am sure theymos can correct it.

That is what the link is. I don't understand what issue you're seeing.

That is the correct link. I forgot to capture the wrong link.

Just found another.

Caption: First Bitcoin Inflation Bug

Wrong Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.msg1643833#msg1643833 (appearing in forum ad section)

Oops. There appears to be another...

Caption: I AM HODLING

Proper link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.msg4022997#msg4022997 (appearing in https://bitcointalk.org/captions.php)

Wrong Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4736673.msg42776661#msg42776661 (appearing in forum ad section)

Please check the bottom left corner of my screenshot. I AM HODLING is in red because I touched cursor to it. The associated link is shown at the bottom left corner, which is ending with #msg42776661, i.e. the Wrong Link.

I am sure, you have some mapping issue while showing captions in forum ad. Because, link is showing correct in https://bitcointalk.org/captions.php.

Does anyone else see this? I can't reproduce it. I don't know how it could be a client-side issue either, though.

This could be CloudFlare caching issue. CloudFlare may hold previous 'src' value in a hyperlink, while rendering a new 'title'. Try purging CloudFlare or turn on development mode.

I spent some minutes trying to reproduce it as well but I couldn't. Saw 4 captions and all of them were right.

I found it, it was a bug in the random rotation. Rarely (5-10% of the time before I fixed it, though growing with an increasing set of captions+votes), it would assign the wrong link to a caption during random rotation.

Thanks!

Awesome work.

I just noticed the following, while voting on https://bitcointalk.org/captions.php ...

Caption: Good Captions

Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.msg28856522#msg28856522

I could not understand the co-relation between the two! What does Merit & new rank requirements have to do with Good Captions?
