Hello

A bug has reported in BBS of D-language in Japan.
Let me post it in this news group, because this bug is in this news reader, not
in D compiler and library.
For example, please go to following page by clicking link (or copy & paste)
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D.b
gs&article_id=11355 

Then, please click link in a tree of the bottom of that page.

Perhaps, you must go to the article of "digitalmars.D".
But that link shoud make you to go to the article of "digitalmars.D.bugs".
The number of article is same, but news group is different.
This news reader can work rightly only through message list page.
We think this is a kind of bug.

Sorry, if this bug has been known.

I've known about this for a while, but I don't know if it's been mentioned in
the
newsgroup before. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the WebNews project is
being
actively developed. It is open source, but I don't know how hard it'd be to
fix. I
think it has something to do with how WebNews uses cookies to keep track of the
last newsgroup that has been displayed.

In any case, the problem only seems to affect the links in the thread list at
the
bottom of the page and the pnews web interface doesn't even have a thread view,
so
I still prefer WebNews for when I can't use an actual newsreader. (Though a do
post with pnews because posting through WebNews is known to "break" threads in
its
own threading view. For details, see
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=47211)

I use the web newsreaders very rarely, but I've also noticed that one of
those (maybe the one with purple buttons) maybe forgets to close a link
with </a>. That causes the whole window to act as a link to somewhere. It
doesn't bother otherwise, but you must aim carefully at the buttons to hit
the right link :)
