I just noticed that if I go to the following URL:
https://qa.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost2008760.aspx
it redirects to the following URL:
https://qa.sqlservercentral.com/forums/reply/2012491
which takes me to that post ONLY (i.e. the rest of the thread that the post is a part of is not there). This seems rather undesirable.
It should instead produce the same result as the new style of post-specific link:
https://qa.sqlservercentral.com/forums/topic/undoing-compression#post-2012491
Take care,
