Links to new posts in e-mails seem to be broken

hey just letting you know that since the site came back up the links found in emails about new replies to forum posts appear to be broken.

the unsubscribe link works fine,  but the new post link just gives 'It works!'

I have no problem when clicking on one of these links.
Did you already try to flush/clear your browsers cache?

I think that problem is somehow related with the test version of the forums look, placed in bforums.wz2100.net. In fact, if you try to open bforums, the browser shows a blank page with a "It Works!" writing on it only. Maybe you have this problem because you acivated the new replies email notifier while you was on the bforums. Try to deactivate and reactivate that option from normal forums instead, which are at the moment, the only ones that work.

Bforums is offline since the last downtime, and it has nothing todo with this forum.
The URL's in his mail are correct, the "It Works" is the default page for unset content (blank page).

He probably visited our forums over such an URL due our downtime, and saw the "It work"-page and his browser cached it.
I'm pretty sure that a cache-flush will solve this problem.

I'll try if i can manage it to send a "no-cache" header with the blank page.

I'm pretty sure he cleared his browser cache ;)
