Thwack bug with Feature Requests navigation?

If I go to the Feature Requests page for Database Performance Analyzer:

and click on the "View all recent ideas", I get sent to this unhelpful page:

Adding insult to injury, the back button in the browser is disabled so I have to go through the Thwack menus to get back to the page I was on.

If I click on the "My Ideas" link, I am taken to this unhelpful page (note the popup with the orange-ish background):

my ideas.png

Clicking on the "Click here to refresh this page" link does nothing, and the pop-up disappears after about 5 seconds whether I click anything in it or not.

The "View add ideas open for voting link" does work, but the resulting page has no option to sort by original entry date, only by latest activity. Effectively, there is no way for me to see what new requests may have been submitted since the last time I voted on any, which is what I really want.

I think I found the root cause, so they shouldn't break in the future; even when we upgrade. Additionally I made sure to check-in those scripts into our code management system, so if upon an upgrade or future version updates, I can always diff the scripts to ensure they don't break again. So sorry for the inconvenience but I'm really grateful to have you guys to keep me honest! :-)

Thanks for this feedback m60freeman‌. I will investigate and let you know what I find.

Hi m60freeman‌,

This seems to be tied to the URL structure that changed with our upgrade back in March. Can you check the Database Performance Analyzer Feature Requests‌ section and see if the links work for you now? I can confirm from my end, the "view all ideas open for voting", "view all recent ideas", and "my ideas" is working again.

Thanks,

Danielle

Danielle,

Neither "view all recent ideas" nor "my ideas" work properly for me.

Thanks,

I just re-checked this and the "view all recent ideas" link now seems to work, but "my ideas" still takes me to that same incorrect page.

The "My Ideas" link goes to https://thwack.solarwinds.com/people/#{username}/content?filterID=contentstatus[published]~objecttype~objecttype[idea], which even though I am logged in, is showing me the page containing profiles, not my ideas:

Thanks for the heads up m60freeman‌. I will have a look at it and see what's going on.
