The Backward OX

I emailed someone a link to a page here at WF.

Before I sent it, I tested it to ensure I had it pasted correctly.

They wrote back and said that when clicked it returned ‘No match’.

I tried it and they were correct – no match.

So I collected the link again. Tested it again. Ok again. Emailed it again. Came back ‘No match’ again.

Wtf?

Are you sure it said 'no match'? Those words exactly? That's strange. I've never seen that error before. Can you post the particular link here, Ox, so other people can see if they can access it?

That's a strange one.

Sam.

The exact words were:

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

And it can't be reproduced at will. It seems to take time to hatch. Earlier I created a link to one of my own posts and emailed it to myself. It worked perfectly. Then I let it sit in my Inbox for an hour or two and checked it again. This time I got the message above.
