Clicking the big old About button on the main page or on the forums just leads you to a 404.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Does it?

 

[Wyrmlord]

Still does.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

It does?

 

[Konjad]

It does so.

 

[Ulminati]

Works fine. You guys need to reinstall windows.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Donation button works perfectly, for some reason.

:itisamystery:

 

[Konjad]

Do I need to make clean install or just repair will be enough?

 

[Ulminati]

Clean install. In fact, you may want to demagnetize your computer while you're at it. Just get a bigass magnet and run it across your components in figure-8 movements.

 

[Menckenstein]

Did as instructed, About button works now.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Funny as hell, for me it redirects to the brolist. Must be because I'm on a Mac.

 

[Jasede]

Not even funny; it'd take literally five minutes to write a tiny editorial for it to direct to. Herp.

 

[EG]

It does?

It's best just to assume so.

What's the worst that could happen?

 

[Sceptic]

Every button between Gallery and Contact Us gives me a 404, now that I checked them. Pretty sure Games and Companies used to work before the forum upgrade.

Not terribly bothered, considering I haven't used any of these buttons in over a year, but it's not very professional. If they're too much trouble to fix* I suggest taking them out entirely.

* You may want to fix the Donations one though...

I think DU just likes the moaning sound all those 404s make.

Assuming the About button "worked", what would it say? "Hello! This is a website about RPGs. It's very nice."
Personally, I find the mystery of the buttons' existence to be a lot more interesting. Look at the community dialogue it has created already!

Could just link it to the Sorcerers.net description.

RPG Codex is a fan site for single-player PC RPGs. There’s no coverage at all of any MMORPGs or console RPGs on the site. They cover anything from more hardcore RPGs like Fallout or Planescape: Torment to action RPGs like Sacred or Diablo II to hack’n’slash games like Temple of Elemental Evil or Silent Storm (which is essentially a dungeon crawler set in World War II) and even a bunch of games they don’t even like that much. They're somewhat infamous for their nearly unique point of view on BioWare’s smash hit Neverwinter Nights, that point of view being that it sucks. They simply have more strict criteria for what a good RPG is than most sites out there.

By the by, Talunain, what's with the lovely PirateBay-like ads on Sorcerer's Place? Every left-mouse click seems to trigger a lovely CNN scam site.

Just remove the button then. Leaving buttons all over the place that give 404s is just unprofessional. Especially for such a highbrow magazine.

That description made me RAGE.

hack’n’slash games like Temple of Elemental Evil.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Write a better description for our own button, then.

Hmmm... Try checking them again.

 

[kazgar]

Should just redirect them all to roll.php

 

[Sceptic]

Hmmm... Try checking them again.

Just did from a different PC on a different internet connection. Same 404.

:mystary:

They all don't work. If you like the design, keep the buttons but make them non-clickable. Easy solution, and mild trolling at the same time.

 

[Menckenstein]

Should just link to RPG Watch or GameFAQs if someone needs an awesome button to learn what this site is about.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Just put tubgirls there.

Huh? Screenshot?

 

[EG]

Well, usually CNN. Sorry for the poor quality of text. I'll grab a better one tonight.
