AskTheTropers oddity

Eddie, I edited a post of mine on Ask The Tropers, and after saving it, I found myself in Lost And Found. I thought that got fixed ages ago; did you revert it accidentally?

I just tested at all three levels (initial, reply to initial, and reply to reply) and it behaved well for me.

Which item did you edit?

My reply to, "Do you have to be a contributor to join a group like SPOON."

I edited it and when I click save, I go to "https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?type="

Works great for me. What browser are you using. Don't say IE6, because I don't have a windows installation that old. When they get old enough to vote, we kick them out.

IE7, at work. Which is where I am.

I checked upon this at home. Submitting an edit to an existing Ask The Tropers entry in IE8 bounces me correctly back to ATT. Submitting an edit in IE7 bounces me to Lost And Found, perhaps because the "type=" parameter is not getting completed.

Well, I'll guess we'll have to trace it from your end. When you bring up edit form, look at the page source and see if the hidden input "qtype" is populated.

Here's the relevant block (hoping I remember how to do preformatted markup - never mind, doesn't work on forums.)

<input type="hidden" name="qtype" value="" />

So, it is not getting populated. That's a lead.

I seem to recall this happening a while back and you fixing it... or maybe it's just that I reported it in the old thread announcing the new ATT/LNF feature and it got lost in the noise.
