Clicking on a WCA ID on the forums no longer working.

[Arcanist]

Basically the title. I'm not sure if it's just for me but if I click the link on someone's WCA ID it takes me to a page where it says:

The page you were looking for doesn't exist.​

The page for that person is still up, but anyone else having this issue?

I just checked, and it is also happening to me, weird.

 

[Skewby_Doo]

Yep. Happening to me as well.

Looks like the link structure they’re using is wrong. When I clicked on @AJT17’s WCAID I got sent to this link:

https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2022TELF01

Whereas the correct link would be:

https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2022TELF01

I’m not sure how the forum is coded, but it should in theory be a simple change of the base URL from

https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=

to

https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/

I think it’s a solar flare guys.

are you serious? I thought I heard something about this happening. I don't know exactly what a solar flare can do except block some signals or whatever.

I doubt it would prevent something so specific from working. I didn’t realize there was actually a solar flare at this moment though—just barely saw that on the news.
