#5336 Unable to delete spam messages [ss1590]

I am unable to delete some spam messages on the TCPDF forum.
When clicking on the "delete" link on these messages I am redirected on the login page instead.
You can easily find the spam messages (written in Danish language) using the following link:
https://sourceforge.net/p/tcpdf/discussion/search/?q=vores

Seeing same behavior, perhaps due to them being posted by OpenID-only accounts pre-upgrade?

I tried deleting a post from a regular account (not openid-only) and it failed also.

I have several spam messages that I am unable to delete.
Shouldn't this bug fixed with hish priority?
Is it normal that SourceForce hosts spam messages for months without the ability to delete them?

Can't repro locally. Added logging messages to debug in prod after next push.

I have a workaround for the problem. From https://sourceforge.net/p/tcpdf/discussion/search/?q=vores, click one of the search result links. After the page loads, strip off the ? and everything after it in the address bar and hit enter. After the page loads, scroll to the spam post and click Delete.

This seems to be a bug that breaks some javascript on the page when a reply post is directly linked. Still working on a solution, but at least there is a workaround now.

You can repro on master by creating a forum post, then replying to it. Get the Link of the reply and navigate to it. You'll get a couple JS errors, after which clicking Delete on the reply will redirect to the login page.

On tv/5336, perform the same steps, confirming there are no JS errors, and the Delete succeeds.
