The new "Max Barry, author of..." link should be fixed

Postby Tinhampton » Thu Mar 26, 2020 10:16 pm

The sidebar image plugging Max Barry's latest book has recently changed from Lexicon to Providence - as you have probably noticed :P. However, clicking on the image still redirects you to https://maxbarry.com/lexicon/. It should now presumably link to https://maxbarry.com/providence/, should it not?

I've also noticed that the old button tucked away at the top-right of the Lexicon image allowing you to hide it from display if you'd bought one of Max's books has been removed with the Providence update...

On Rift, yes, but not on the Century theme - unless, of course, that is no longer being maintained...

Fixed in Century theme, thanks.

Was there such a thing? I know there was something like that many years ago, back when we used to have a row of books across the top of nation screens, but I'm not sure what this one refers to. When I roll back to the old version on my local machine, I don't see a button.

I believe they're referring to this button:

Clicking this button changes the display (forumside, that is) to this formatting:

No, I'm not - I could swear on my life there was a gameside "X" button on the sidebar a few years ago which gave you the possibility to remove the "Max Barry" advert if you'd actually bought one of his books (from what I could recall, second-hand book recipients need not apply)...

I assume it linked to this page. Can't remember there being an X that took you there, though. (at least since I joined)
