New forum software handles old links incorrectly

I've just noticed an error in the way the new forum software handles old links. When the old forum was remigrated, links that pointed to individual posts were recoded as "...showthread.php?p=..." This took one to the page the post was on and scrolled down to the selected post. With the new software, the scrolling down does not occur, leaving one to search further for the selected post. Here's a post that illustrates the problem:
The link to Tracy's post does not go there anymore, but to the top post in the thread.
This needs to be fixed in the forum software (i.e. no more remigrations).

Looks like the anchor guys gets chopped off and then the server doesn't know what to do.
