ok you are correct and congrats you caught a small bug which has gone unnoticed for months..
The fix is:
Replace:
PHP Code:
$news[$i][link]='[<a href="'.$forumlocation."showthread.php?threadid=".$news[$i][threadid]."&postid=".$news[$i][postid].'">'.$readresttext.'</a>]';
AS:
PHP Code:
$news[$i][link]='[<a href="'.$forumlocation."showthread.php?postid=".$news[$i][postid]."#post".$news[$i][postid].'">'.$readresttext.'</a>]';
Thx for bringing this to my attention..
