This is part of the core of HN. As I understand it, it generates those links on the fly, and they expire. I think they are handled by some sort of lisp callbacks that expire at a certain age. It's not something that can be fixed with re-theme-ing the frontpage.
- markkat 14y agoThis is correct. http://files.arcfn.com/doc/srv.html#rflink http://files.arcfn.com/doc/srv.html#rflink
- lmm 14y agoRight, but a bit of javascript to rewrite the links and form submissions should be doable.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoI've heard the explanation and I've heard the justifications, but it's still occasionally annoying to actual users of the website.
- pyre 14y agoRight, but complaining about it to someone that spent a small bit of free time reworking the frontpage for fun seems out of place. He probably doesn't have the skills or access to make the changes that you want.
