I use the mobile site. If there is any link posted to another within geekzone it dumps you on the forum index page.

So there is a topic that gets locked, last post says refer to this thread i.e

There's no way to figure out what that thread is.

Fail.

My mistake and this is now fixed

 

The problem: URLs to Geekzone pages, when posted from the full website, were not going to correct page when viewed on mobile site.

 

Problem: When using the rich text editor URLs to local domain were being written as relative URLs - /pagename instead of http://www.geekzone.co.nz/pagename. While the first form is correct, when used on a different domain /pagename could possibly not exist - which was the case when the mobile browser parsed the content on mobile (m.geekzone.co.nz) instead of the full site (www.geekzone.co.nz). 

 

Solution: changed rich text editor configuration to no longer use relative URLs but instead pass full URLs including domain.

 

As for the other question "Surely in this day and age it would be possible to have automatic hyperlinking?" we do hyperlinking via rich text editor only. If someone is using the full site with javascript off or with the rich text editor off then automatic hyperlinking is not supported.
