Forum Link Not Working

[Harcourt]

The directory tree link near the top of the page, above the ads by Google and below the "Logged in as" bar often does not work, when I click on "Thailand Forum", instead it takes me to an "Oops" page (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/) that suggests another link, which does work.

It's not a major annoyance, but I thought the boffins might like to know.

I've pointed that out to the webmaster before, it doesn't happen all the time, so it is a bit strange

It's been like this for long time.

It only happens when your browser puts it's session ID in the url instead of in a cookie.

From my experience it happens most often when you enter the forum via a link from somewhere, for example the newsletters that are sent out. But I don't see any distinct pattern.

It happens when you follow a link from George's Facebook update . Its a problem with the php script which adds a session id for all the links including the http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/ Thailand Forum link which becomes something like http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/&45sdfsdf54545454 Thailand Forum which is invalid and causes all the problem.

I must add that its a very annoying bug and greatly reduces the usability of the forum. Webmaster do something !
