At a guess I'd say that's what happens when you click 'more' on a page that's too old for 'more' to mean anything in that context.


I run into that quite a bit. It generally happens when you sit on a page for a long time - somewhere between half an hour and an hour, I'd guess.

How should this to be fixed (if it does)? 5 second timer on the 'Unknown/Expired Link' page that redirects to the front page?


If you can reasonably predict when the list will expire, removing the "more" link from the DOM (replacing it with a notification to go back to the first page) would remove some of the inconvenience. There are probably a few better ways to deal with it, I just don't understand why the problem needs to exist to begin with. The same problem exists on Reddit incidentally.


Making the developer guess as to context is my least favorite way to file a bug report.
