We were working on that part of the code and took the opportunity to replace a few of the most common fnid links (i.e., closures) with ordinary urls.
At least one user has reported that the links don't always return the correct items, but we don't have details from him yet and can't seem to reproduce it. If you notice anything like this, please let us know at hn@ycombinator.com.
[UPDATE] Now shows item #61 (perhaps the list was limited to 60 items and thus 2 pages when I first clicked...still showed the "More" link on page 2 though, FYI).
Your update made me realize what's happening. When there is an exact multiple of 30 Ask HNs to display, the system doesn't decide "should there be a More link" correctly. I've added it to a list of things we need to fix. Thanks!
