BYOND Version:N/A (Website Bug)
Operating System:Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
Web Browser:Internet Explorer 11
Applies to:Website
Status: Open

Issue hasn't been assigned a status value.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
When I navigate to http://www.byond.com/docs/notes/506.html and click on "More Info" for 506.1247 I only get back a result of 1 thread even though theirs obviously more than 1 issue fixed.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Go to http://www.byond.com/docs/notes/506.html
2. Click on "More Info" for 506.1247
3. See only 1 result listed, the page it takes you to is... http://www.byond.com/ forum/?forum=21&command=search&scope=local&text=resolved%3a5 06.1247

If you go to http://www.byond.com/ forum/?forum=21&command=search&text=resolved%3a506.1247

Which basically just takes the "&scope=local" which i'm not sure what that does...other than the layout difference of removing the listing of the "forum" in which the threads were posted from the search results.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:

Workarounds:
Remove the "&scope=local" from the URL.



***EDIT***
Also, although not a big deal, the release notes for 506.1247 don't mention fixing the copyright info, even though it doesn't matter since it did get fixed, it should show in the release notes.
&scope=local restricts it to the forum specified.
OK after looking at it then, they specify the forum, and the scope both...which on the release notes, clicking for "More Info" it doesn't make sense to restrict it to show results only from the "Beta Bugs" forum, which it does currently...you'd want to see more information about all the bugs in general fixed for that release...

So I am wondering why it was ever made to show like it does now...

EDIT: If the reason for this was carried on from previous where there may not have been a beta bugs, with the main use to hide the "forum" it's in as they would all be in the same forum and they wanted to carry that over with both, then the following URL will hide the forum from showing too, but show all the bugs...

http://www.byond.com/ forum/?forum=5,21&command=search&scope=local&text=resolved%3 a506.1247

Notice that I added two forums to be searched here and it hides the "forum" column still, and it comes up with the correct results.

Since they are all bugs...it hardly matters whether they were from beta bugs or not, so hiding the "forum" column is probably still ideal.
