Goto in the URL

[AndyB]

I noticed that I have some incoming links to my forum with the word "goto" in the URL. Here's an example of using this site as the URL:

http://xenforo.com/community/goto/post?id=502131

Where in Xenforo would a user see a link with "goto" in the URL?

Clicking the number left to "Like" will give you that url.

Hi Nasr,

When I click the post number here on Xenforo, I get the following popup:



I'm not seeing the /goto/ in the URL as described in my post #1. I also tried it on my forum and not seeing it.

That appears to be different than what I described in my post #1.

I wonder if there's another link generated by Xenforo that produces a link as I show in post number one?

Should be right up there in the quote.

 

[Nasr]

You are correct. I've misread your intial post.

Hi Mike,

Oh the blue up arrow in quoted posts.

Thank you kindly.

This leads me to the question as to why create two different types of links to perform the same function? If I click the post number I get this link:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/goto-in-the-url.47737/#post-512000

if I click the blue up arrow in a quoted post I get this link:

http://xenforo.com/community/goto/post?id=512000#post-512000

Both take me to the same post.

Because if it's on the same page it doesn't reload and has a bit of eye candy attached.

Hi Brogan,

Looks like either link in post #9 reloads the page to the correct anchor.

I think it would be the best to replace the up arrow link (keep the blue up arrow image) with the post number link so that we don't have two different URL's pointing to the same content.
