Steps to reproduce with Firefox:

1. Go to http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?search_txt=&group=digitalmars.D

2. Open some message (should have replies) to a new tab

3. With the original tab go to http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?search_txt=&group=D.gnu

4. Switch to the tab with message and click any reply message

=> Now all reply links have invalid address.

That is really annoying.
