V7.6.21 Links broken by new F@H stats website

Post by STFC9F22 »

***********************
UPDATE (13 April): Since I posted this yesterday it seems that the change to the new stats website has been rolled back. The old links are now working again pointing to old style pages.
In the case of the Donor link both versions below currently reach the desired page but for the Project link only the old link reaches the individual Project page. (The workarounds suggested should therefore be disregarded).
***********************

Although the new Folding@home stats website is a cosmetic improvement it has caused links from the Folding@home Client to break.

Specifically for the 'Advanced Control' -

'Selected Work Unit' panel -> 'Project' field
The link is https://stats.foldingathome.org/project?p=17339 (where 17339 is the Project ID). This now shows a list of projects sorted by Server IP then Project ID.
The link to the new individual Project page is https://stats.foldingathome.org/project/17339

'Identity' panel -> 'Name' field
The link (where the 'Folding@Home' option has been selected in Preferences -> Stats Links -> Donor Stats) is https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/STFC9F22 (where STFC9F22 is the Donor Name). This continues to show an old style stats page but now contains no data.
The link to the new individual Donor page is https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/140890 (where 140890 is the Donor Id)

I do not use the Web Client but presume if similar links exist they may also be affected.

Workarounds for users are -
For the 'Project' link simply replace '?p=' in the web browser address with '/'
For the 'Name' link select the 'Custom' option in Preferences -> Stats Links -> Donor Stats and enter the appriate URL in the adjacent field i.e. https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/<Your Donor Id>


I also notice that the new Donor Page contains a 'My Award' link which generates a Work Unit Certificate. The old site had links for both Work Units and Points Certificates - the Points Certificate link has been broken for sometime but remains available from https://apps.foldingathome.org/awards?user=<Your Donor Id>. Would it be possible for a Mod to request that a link to Points Certificates be re-established on the Donor Page of new stats website?

16 April:

The new Folding@home stats website has been reintroduced and has again broken the links in the Folding@home Client as described in my post above (the only difference are that the link which should return the individual project page, again returns the list of projects but it is now sorted in Project Id order rather than Server IP order, and the Donor link now returns a new style page with no data, rather than an old style page with no data).

I have the same problem. I am posting to let the development team know that this is not a one person problem.
