Title: [LORE] tag misdirecting
Post by: Stephen_Zuckerman on July 07, 2011, 10:14:41 pm

The [LORE] tag currently creates a URL leading to forums.layonara.com/lore/X rather than lore.layonara.com/X.

[NOPARSE]http://forums.layonara.com/lore/X[/NOPARSE] then gets redirected by the server to [NOPARSE]http://lore.layonara.com/X[/NOPARSE] ; it is correct behaviour.

Well, yes, but wouldn't it be cleaner to have it produce a lore.layonara.com link?

Low priority, of course, but still.

Perhaps the server software prepends the server domain to all generated URLs necessitating the need for a redirect for "external" domains.

In fairness, you can always use [noparse]your link (http://lore.layonara.com/x)[/noparse].

(I always do anyway.)

Might have been done for tracking purposes, or it could be a limit to how vBulletin can create URLs through tag substitution.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter what the link is as long as it ends up in the right place.

I'm gonna hijack this for a moment Stephen :) Maybe you can help me with this. I am having difficulty accessing my own Lore page.  I can access my friends pages but nothing personal. I am using Mozilla to enter Lore.  Any idea's? **turns the controls back over**

Silly question, but are you logged in into your lore account? If you're not then you won't see the personal stats of your friends as they added you to their friends list.

Hellblazer,

Yes I am able to see my friends stats.  Just not mine.  Also when I go to send a letter to someone...it doesn't show my account. I'll check to see if I am off with my login name once again.

Did you enter your public CD-key into your LORE account settings?  If not, please do.  If so, try removing it, saving the settings, adding it again and saving them again.

Would I be able to see her stats without her cd key?

Although there seems to be something strange. I can see her stats for Keela Cent, but not for Clover, Peanut, Peanut Headsmasher, Keela Moonflower and they are on the same account (Mooneyes88 )

No I did not put my cd-key into Lore..it never occurred that I needed to do that. I'll give it a try! :) Thanks
