EFB links redirecting me
« on: May 03, 2020, 11:16:15 AM »
Hi,

I'm attempting to work on/submit an EFB for my WIP Antoinette but every time I click on the links to fill out any of the forms (like Rich/Influencial or Europe-specific) it just redirects me back to the main home page? Am I doing something majorly wrong here or is it a glitch?

Thanks in advance! <333

It's not giving Me this issue.  Try clearing your cache?

@Kita so weird, it's working okay for me too... try these links directly?

the same thing is happening for me, even when clicking those direct links.

same, and it probably works just fine for you two @Olivia & @Dylan, because you're admins. Probably what could be done in the meantime, is take the old efb applications and use them and post those in the main efb space.

veryyyyy interesting, there must be some weird permissions thing going on. let me look into the control panel and see if I can figure it out!

also another thing that just occurred to me - you're supposed to be logged into the specific character account that the EFB is for (not your OOC) when you submit, so perhaps that has something to do with it. am adding more permissions now anyways!

okay can someone please try the Rich/Influential Applications link?
if it still doesn't work I have a couple other things to test!
but if those don't work, I suspect the links themselves originate somewhere in the database which no one but Fee has access to :/

It definitely still redirects me to the main page. @Olivia

yep, same.

I cleared my cache to see if that helped but nope.

hmph okay, thanks guys!
unfortunately the more I look at this, the more I suspect the forms originate in the database - I can't find them anywhere. I can only modify permissions for the general board (but since y'all are able to view it, that's clearly not the issue). I can get to all the child boards of "Established Family Backgrounds Submissions" but can't find the origin of the content of the board that has all the links so that makes me think it's in the database

sorry I don't have the power to fix it! will tag @Daphne for assistance whenever she might be able to get to it

in the meantime, we can revert to the old method of posting the apps in the Rich/Influential Applications child board, and then the regular EFB itself in the general Established Family Backgrounds Submissions board <33
