Legitimate URL Shortener - breaking legitimate forum URLs

[he-pennypacker]

Describe the problem below this line as meticulously and detailed as possible (incl. pagelinks if any)

Many forums identify the thread with a t=nnnnnn parameter as part of the URL. Legitimate URL Shortener is removing the t=nnnnnn parameter, which the forum then doesn't know what to do with.

For example Linux Mint: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=388943

I should add, the t= parameter is removed when following a Duckduckgo search result. E.g.

1. Search for something using DDG
2. Click on result
3. Forum is broken due to removed threadid parameter

I found what appears to be a pretty easy fix for this (which I've now added), as I narrowed down the possible causes very quickly. 🌞

Awesome, it 's sorted out on DuckDuckGo searches from what I've seen so far. Thanks for the speedy resolution :smile:
