broken links on writer's profile pages (LINK)

June 2nd 2008 10:15

Writers with domain blogs sometimes have broken links on their profile pages

For instance, in the "recent post" list of writer Ruby Soho when you click on the title of the "Is this photo sexist" post the link goes to an invalid URL

I have noticed this happens fairly regularly on many different profiles

*raises hand eagerly*

oooh! I see what's wrong, or at least, think, the link for 'is this photosexist' goes to orble.com/is-this-photo-sexist instead of Really Long Link

All the older posts go to orble.com/ instead of thoughtzone.net/ So maybe the blog used to be on the orble domain and when it moved over to the new domain the old links didn't change?

hey Ahmed
yeah thats right, but whats weird is that Thoughtzone has been on its own domain for months
ive noticed it happens even with writers who have been here for years with established blogs, and it seems to be fairly random as to which posts it affects
i thought it could be related to the title of the post being altered after the original post but im not entirely sure

hey Ruby,
only from the profile page
if you search the post heading or click on it from the home page its fine, i think theres some malfunction to do with writers profile pages (an orble technical thing not a writer thing)
