Fixed thread 404 when post deleted

[rfc0001]

Affected version

2.0.9

Thread URLs with invalid page-xx are gracefully redirected to the last page:

E.g. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/seo-seo2-paid.141984/page-99

However, thread URLS with invalid post-xx get a 404:

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/seo-seo2-paid.141984/post-9999999 (e.g. if someone copies and posts a link to a specific post that is subsequently merged/deleted).

Can this be handled more gracefully to display the thread rather than a 404?

Yeah we can redirect to the thread here, at least (if it exists).

Awesome, thanks

Hmm ... this change seems semantically wrong to me:
If a post is linked but does not exist this should be a 404, as the link target is the post - not the thread.

Except a /post/ link normally resolves to a /thread/ link which doesn't give a 404 even if the post label doesn't exist.
