Is anyone else having trouble navigating to the topic of "The Island: WTF Physics, Dyson Spheres, Eclipses" in the general discussion forums?
The title gets converted to "physics,astronomy,optics" in the url and that lands me on a page with
There is no such topic named physics%2Castronomy%2Coptics
and I know there is, I've read it before. It even shows up in my RSS feeds.

Yes. In fact it tells me that it is a topic that has been recently repsonded to. As I recall it first started out as paging Isaac Newton, then changed to WTF Fysics, etc. I read it in it's first manifestation, then the title changed. I had responded to it as did PW a couple of days ago. Seems it has been hidden for some reason? Perhaps in light of PW's Hugo for "The Island" and the spoilers that are inherent in the brief discussion and great analysis by the creator of that interesting thread, it may be a bit of a spoiler for those who have not yet read PW's winner?

I think it is probably a bug in the forum software, maybe brought on by all the title changes. I'll try and reproduce the problem with a test post.

Darn those bugs…at least it is cyber and not bed…and here I thought it was perhaps the OSF in rebellion not wanting to reveal spoilers about The Island by PW himself in honor of his Hugo…

haha, that's funny.
I used to work on the hotel platform of a website–I picked a picture of a bedbug as my chat icon. :)
Anyway, I think I fixed it. I can navigate to the topic again. I hope it works for everyone now.

No hiding; I screwed up when I changed the topic and slug. Sorry, all – sheila fixed it – again, sorry.
