[SOLVED] Chosen forum doesnot exist

Post by poet-man »

For a week or so, I get the above message when opening forum on my Android tablet and I have to rechoose support forum again.
I start forum by a shortcut to support forum and this shortcut is unchanged for ages. However problem is the same with a new shortcut.
Anybody similar problems?
Thx

When opening forum by shortcut, while forum already is open in background I get "https://essentialpim.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2", whereas opening forum by shortcut, while NOT already open in background I get "https://essentialpim.com/forum/viewforum.php"

You should use the correct link, the one that includes "www":

Code: Select all

Well, it's not that easy!
Creating a new shortcut under Android seems to assign the second link, as this is the link shown in browser adress bar after clicking on shortcut. Due to lack of time, I will come back to this topic later

So ,,, being absent for some days, I wanted to come back again to the topic ... and what can I say ...
Suddenly it works again ... without changing anything on my side.
Means, existing shortcuts do show correct links in browser adress bar again and therefore open correct sites
So for me something had been changed and rechanged on server side.
