Error message ? Bug?

[Dr. Pepper]

I got an error message when trying to look at my notification:
arslanshanu and -1 others have posted on your subscription: Sous-Vide-Que Deep Dive Guide eBook

I am sure RayJ would like to know what the error message was so he can help better.

I believe the site rebuild broke the links.

The post that is linked to (pitmaster.amazingribs.com/node/1068108) was deleted as is was spam (arslanshanu is a spammer and has been banned).

Unfortunately, the system does not remove the notices from your list. So the notice and link (to the deleted post) are still there.

I will update the error message to explain that a little better.

Thanks for blocking spammers!

raywjohnson Good to know, I’ve been gittin these too…

Sorry about that. I looked into implementing a way to auto remove the notices from members Messages area when a topic or post gets deleted. No simple way to do that. I would think that the makers of the software (vBulletin) would have implemented this. But took the lazy route. Which is the way of the programmer.

I also git em, like so:

@Valid Current Mber and -1 have liked / posted a comment, etc.; there's no way to navigate to see what th non-banned member has/had to say, an I've jus hadda dismiss em...

thought this info might help, when squashin bugs...

Consorting with spammers.

And here I was, ready to drop the check into the mail in order to help a Nigerian prince recover his stollen gold, or bank account, or brisket. He promised me the burnt ends in return.

Typically when a notice gets an error page like that it's because either the main topic was deleted (offensive, spam, etc) or the individual post in question was deleted for a similar reason.
