members search fails with Not found error

Post by nomko »

Hi,

Is it just me or is it the forum? Whenever i try to search for a user by clicking on any letter under Members (see error2.PNG), i get an error message: 404 Not Found (error1.PNG).

Is this some error of the forum itself?
Thanks!

Doesn't work for me either, I get the same error message you get.

As broken as that is, it's not "search"

And that is not where my question went about. That's the regular search (which is insufficient as well).

I get the same page as well. Have you reported this to any of the admins? If you are experiencing issues with any of the official Mint sites, please don't hesitate to notify us:

This is a theme related issue, as with some searching other boards running phpBB have encountered also after upgrading to newer version of phpBB. If you go to your User Control Panel - Board preferences, and switch from default theme minty to prosilver for example then the memberlist browsing by first character works as expected.

The problem is in the URL generated using the theme (don't ask me how the theme plays into this, I'll just pass this on to HQ for getting looked at :)). It generates a URL like:
forums.linuxmint.com/memberlist.php&first_char=a#memberlist
While that should be:
forums.linuxmint.com/memberlist.php?first_char=a#memberlist
