I hope this is the right place to report bugs with the PerlMonks site.

Recently runrig sent a message to me. In it he used [pad://] to link to his scratchpad. I found that if I was in my message inbox it linked to http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=108949;user=developers which is a node I don't have access to. From anywhere else on the site it links to his scratchpad. We experimented, and if you send a message with [pad://runrig] in it it will work anywhere on the site. I reproduced the bug by sending myself a message.

Given that I was in my Message Inbox so I could read runrig's message, this was somewhat annoying...

Update: Thanks for the quick fix!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
