Sep 16, 2008 11:51:35 Has anyone else noticed that a few of the links on the left hand side of the forum are broken? I think Wizards might have switched the hosting for the Event Calendar and Member Sign In from http://events.wizards.com to http://webapp.wizards.com. The links on the main Wizards site still work.

Odd. Those were working just a week or two ago.

If they don't come back to life I'll pass the info on to Solice for review.

Sep 16, 2008 12:44:56 Yeah, I just noticed it yesterday or the day before. Looks like a recent change.

Thanks for looking into it! (If you need to. ^^)

Sep 17, 2008 6:05:19 Yeah, I tried to use the "Adventure Summaries" link yesterday with no luck. The only way to look at blurbs now is to start creating an event, then canceling it before it is final.

Sep 17, 2008 15:19:26 Well, you can get a bit of a blurb by going to the LFR main page and clicking the adventures link near the bottom that takes you here.

Sep 24, 2008 13:12:40 Any way that I can "Request Scenarios for a Gathering." as I can't bring up my members page after logging on? Can anyone help?

I am specifically trying to get some Star Wars addventures for a home game.

Sep 24, 2008 13:35:50 As the links on the left haven't resolved themselves, and a little digging leads me to new links, I'm going to alert Solice to the issue and see if we can't get it resolved.

From my poking around it looks like these are the problems:
Events Calendar goes to http://www.wizards.com/leaving.asp?url=http://events.wizards.com/rpgaweb/external/calendar.asp&origin= and it should go to http://webapp.wizards.com/tournaments.aspx?brandid=3.

Member Sign On goes to https://events.wizards.com/rpgaweb/external/signon.asp and it should go to https://webapp.wizards.com/personal.aspx

Adventure Summaries goes to https://events.wizards.com/RPGAWeb/external/scenarios.asp and I don't think there's a current replacement for that - unless one of you sees it and I don't.

Are there any others I'm missing? As long as we're going to get someone to look at it, are there any links that should be pruned? Added?

I'll probably just point Solice to this thread, so feel free to speak up.

When you're signed in you *should* get a page that has links in a box on the right. The one you're looking for is "Event Sanctioning".

If that's not what you're getting can you explain what you ARE getting? Have you tried a different browser? Flushing your browser cache? Flushing your browser cookies?

Well, there are summaries for the current/announced LFR adventures here. I'm not sure if this is quite what you are looking for, as I never saw what the old link went to, but it has been useful for me.

That's good, but it's a *static* page, and I doubt it will be updated as new mods come along.

Ideally I'd like the new database to have a page like the old database where we can view the blurbs for any module currently available. Something dynamic that need not be updated by already overbusy humans.

Jan 14, 2009 11:19:38 Any update to this? The Adventure Summaries link is still broken. I realize we can see module summaries elsewhere, but that doesn't tell you if it is available for download. The only way to confirm a module is actually available for download is to create a new event for sanctioning and then cancel it after you've viewed the list of available modules.

Another good place for scenario blurbs is Xan's website. He does a good job of keeping up on them.
