ALERT THE MODS!

Stupid “bug” or otherwise implementation problem in Ludum Dare’s site.

First, there are two three (WTF?) profile pages:

  1. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/?author_name=insert_name_here
  2. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/category/ld-29/?author_name=insert_name_here
  3. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/author/insert_name_here/

The problems are:

  1. On the first one, the trophies appear, but the links to your games don’t work, they are all like “http://www.ludumdare.com/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=insert_game_id_here” instead of “http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=insert_game_id_here” as they should be (they are missing the “compo/”)
  2. On the second one, the links work, but the trophies don’t appear
  3. On the third one, both the trophies and the links work

Depending on where the link to your profile appear, you will be sent to a different URL:

  1. I forgot where the first URL appears in a link, but it’s there somewhere
  2. In your game’s “view author profile” link, you will be sent to the 2nd URL
  3. Clicking in Ludum Dare posts author names, like the drnick above this text, will send you to the 3rd URL (the correct one)

Also, free propaganda for my game: Click here to play my game
