Even more pet link bug fun! When I link a pet with a legacy name it goes to the pet that has my user name as its legacy name! snuggles goes to Frederick the url in the browser bar shows pets/frederick/snuggles rather than pets/frederick This happens both when a pet is using its legacy name and when it is not: Mall Cop Mall Cop both has a legacy name and is currently using it. Snuggles has the legacy name Blackburn, and I just used the link pet=blackburn to link it on the forums. Both links go to Frederick.
The site seems to be ignoring everything past the /, and leading to a pet named "Cozybun" instead of following the entire path to reach Ringabelle. The BBCode is redirecting pet=blackburn to pets/frederick/snuggles instead of pets/blackburn. Just navigating to pets/blackburn brings up the right pet, so I could just use a url link for a legacy name, but pets without one would have to be linked by the petID which has no / in the path to ignore.
(and amusingly enough, the pet BBCode for Frederick is leading to Santiago lol)
I will let programmers know this is happening. And it is weird...I was sure there was sCode for pet ids but I am apparently misremembering.
For now I am going to redirect you to an earlier board about this issue. Sorry this is happening! Pet profile links not working properly
Please post above to receive updates. I will lock this up as a duplicate.
