Why are the emailed links wrong?
-
I have noticed for quite a while that when I get an email notification, the links are not correct. Oddly, they seem to take me to an error page that has a link to where I need to go. It seems odd that the email link doesn't take me right to the page. Here's an example. I received an email notification that contains this link: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/LINQ_1.asp?msg=2031715#xx2031715xx[^] When I go there, it is a Page not Found error page, but has a link to the correct page. Odd. Also, in the email, there is the message "Do not hit 'reply' to this email: To reply, click here." When I click the link, it goes to the same error page. The emails I receive have been this way for as long as I can remember.

Sometimes when an article is moved the location of the forum isn't updated at the same time. A proper fix is in the works
