If I click to reply on certain group threads, the HTML source looks like this:

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
		<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postreply" />
		<input type="hidden" name="t" value="0" />
		<input type="hidden" name="p" value="" />
		<input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="" />
		<input type="hidden" name="poststarttime" value="" />
		<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" id="vB_Editor_001_save" value="Submit Reply" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
		<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="Preview Post" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />

Obviously, the topicid and postid are missing.

On the ones that work, the source is like this:

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
		<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postreply" />
		<input type="hidden" name="t" value="47" />
		<input type="hidden" name="p" value="" />
		<input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="" />
		<input type="hidden" name="poststarttime" value="" />
		<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" id="vB_Editor_001_save" value="Submit Reply" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
		<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="Preview Post" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />

The topicid is there, though the postid is not. This is why I can reply to the post, but it takes me to the start of the thread, and not the post I made, after I submit.

Interestingly, on threads that have no topicid when replying, you CAN quote them -- the topicid gets pulled there. So perhaps an investigation of the code to see what the difference is in pulling the topicid for the quote vs. the new reply will help you solve this?

I will let you know if I figure out any more.

is there any commonality between the threads/groups in which the threadid appears

<input type="hidden" name="t" value="47" />

and comes up as zero?
