Description

The link on this page (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/publication/150/) describing what it means to adopt the publication gives the dreaded “page not found” error. Checking a few other publications this is systematically true for all of them. The links on these pages all lead to “http://my.strathspey.org/docs/scddata-adopt”.

Poking around a bit I eventually found the page via another link and realised that the links from the publications pages just need a trailing / character, ie the link should be “http://my.strathspey.org/docs/scddata-adopt/”.

However having found that page I tried following the links from that to your wishlist (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/adopt-wishlist/) and list of adopters (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/adopter/) both of which also gave me error pages complete with python tracebacks.

Since your normally wonderfully comprehensive site is advertised as being continually under development I assume the code that creates these pages has inadvertently been “improved”. Any chance of fixing it?

NB I do not (yet) have an account so was not logged in. I do not know if that makes a difference to whether those links should work. But for encouraging new people it would be best if they worked whether logged in or not.

Best wishes and thanks for all your work on this incredibly useful site.
