I have noticed lately that we can't use the hash and message number to place a link to a particular post in a thread. I'm pretty sure it used to work.
When did this change and was there an issue that cause it to be changed?
Thanx

<a name="msg1">Itīs just that the hash gets urlencode [php.net]d to %23. If you replace that with the hash everything will work just fine.
It seems that Brett changed something in the redirect script.

any way to prevent the redirect?
or does Brett not want us to go direct?
Yes Birdman, you would need to do that by hand in the address bar. Or you could add a piece to the proxy server that replaces %23 in Location header fields with the hash. But that would only work for yourself.

Great idea, thanks!
Added: Would that be in custom_replace.txt?
You would need to modify win_proxy directly. Look for the following two lines at the body of the script:
my $response = &fetch_request($r);
$c->send_response($response);
The first line will request the response from the remote server and do its magic on the content. The second line will pass the response we got from the remote server back to the browser. Between those two lines you need to add the code that modifies the Location response header.
my $loc = $response->header('Location');
$response->header('Location', $loc) if $loc =~ s/%23/#/;
