rss feed not directing to thread but to artifact

I monitor the forum using rss. Maybe a week or so ago the rss feed url changed. I used to be able to click on the entry and see the forum article. Now I get a link that points to the artifact page. E.G.

I see in the context, that the post was edited, but....

This rss item entry:

shows me the posting.

My feed url is: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/timeline.rss?ss=v&y=f&n=20&vfx&nsm

Anybody have an idea what is happening here?

Thanks.

That is interesting. It's apparently a side effect of that post having been edited and appears to be intentional, but it also appears to be a bug, as it's apparently impossible to get to the content the post via that first link without manually editing the link from /info to /forumthread or /forumpost.

Under investigation...

Do I understand the problem correctly? The idea is that the following link works:

But this link (which differs only in using /info instead of /forumpost) does not work:

And the idea is that both URLs should take you to the same page. And in fact both URLs do take you to the same page if they are referencing a forum post that has not been edited, for example:

So, in other words, there seems to be a bug in /info when the name= query parameter references a forum post artifact, that it does not give a good display if the referenced artifact has been edited.

Is that the only problem? Or is there something more?

Seems to be fixed by check-in 81ab30272e216091.
