Same. Brett may still be working on it, not sure. Did you click the Mark All Read button at the bottom of the notifications? Doesn't resolve it for me, maybe it does for you.

Click "Msg#: [number]" above your post, then click "Edit Message".

Sorry, it seems to be an issue with flagged/followed threads that I have not tracked down yet.

Oh, wait, you can edit the title? I thought you had to go running for a moderator (I did so just a few days ago), without benefit of the hour or whatever it is you have for editing body text.

I don't know positively, but it would be reasonable if you started the thread and edited that first post that it might allow the title to be edited - but no guarantee - lucy24's method always works. I don't know how long you can edit posts, it is explained as a limited time in the Welcome page: [webmasterworld.com...]

That page is also pinned to the top of this forum's page for reference.

Nope, users can't edit titles...

Thanks robzilla +
Notification for new comments etc. is gone now.
Notification for email is still there.

Also there is no solution for problem no. 3 ?

Comment: 404 is a solution, just doesn't get it out of your profile/threads.

I get the desire to "clean it up", but is that really a big problem?

Just askin'!

>solution for problem no. 3

short answer: Yes - should be working now.

long answer:

So this:

...webmasterworld.com/forum3/200.htm

We used to use forum3/ and moved to a named directory (ex: /google/200.htm) system of urls about 2008. That meant there were thousands of backlinks to /forum3/ style urls that had to be maintained. We had code that checked the serial number of a thread and decided to use the named directory or the number style directory and serve content to the correct one and 404 the one that was wrong.

I adjusted some lines in the htaccess that broke that functionality and 404'd some old threads.

Why? Isn't that what redirects are for?
