Bug in 'chosen depth' display?

I noticed today that when I'm browsing a node which a lot of nested comments that I'm seeing a bogus link.

For example if I view a node which contains a sufficiently large number of comments then some will be hidden. (I realise this setting is a per-user thing, so some people might not notice the problem).

As a concrete example this old chestnut: Stunnix Perl Web Server - a platform for portable browser-based applications has some comments which are beneath my depth, and so are hidden. Instead a notice is displayed.

The notice reads "Some notes below your chosen depth have not been shown here" - however the link "Chosen depth" points to a node which merely gives me a "Permission denied" error.

Bug? User error?

Those are the Pmdev Settings settings, only accessible to pmdevils and gods. I have no idea why someone put that link in there instead of one to the User Settings. Patch submitted. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Actually, I think the code was right, it used to point to an old version of User Settings. When I reused the latter it never occured to me that something might have been pointing at it. I guess this a good example of why tye prefers we don't reuse old infrastructure nodes. Something I wasn't aware of until after these patches happened. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]
