If you click on the first "Re" link, you'll get redirected here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=D.gnu&article_id=93711

But that link should be:
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=93711

The link has the wrong "art_group" value, it seems to set it to
`D.gnu` all the time instead of wherever the original post originated
from, in this case `digitalmars.D`.

There are numerous examples like this that are linked from the dwiki
page which have the wrong links generated for all the RE replies.

This does not happen to me, but I think I've seen it before.  I think it  
has to do with some sort of cookie that webnews uses.

Try going to the main page (with all the threads), and then go back to  
that specific one, I think it will work.

Since about two months the online web interface doesn't allow me to go past the
first page of the main D newsgroup:
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?search_txt=&group=digitalmars.D

Bye,

The code is here: http://web-news.sourceforge.net/

so yes, it's an option, it's open source.

I have this same problem too.  It actually doesn't allow you to go past  
the first page of any newsgroup.

It would be nice if this was fixed, but I have no clue why it would not  
work, since nothing has changed.  I suspect possibly the ever-increasing  
number of posts has started causing timeouts?

The last time I reported this Walter couldn't recreate the bug either.
I think he might have used IE. Are you using Firefox by any chance?

Steps to reproduce with Firefox:

1. Go to http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?search_txt=&group=digitalmars.D

2. Open some message (should have replies) to a new tab

3. With the original tab go to
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?search_txt=&group=D.gnu

4. Switch to the tab with message and click any reply message

=> Now all reply links have invalid address.

That is really annoying.

I tested with opera, but I normally use firefox.  I think it has nothing  
to do with browser type.

In my experience you can not be browsing multiple groups. You can reproduce the
behavior by reading a message from digitalmars.D and then in another tab
navigating to digitalmars.gnu and the going back to the article and clicking a
link.

The cookie expires at the end of session. The cookie seems to contain php
