Possible problem with links to Tipshop

Post by equinox »

Look at the SC entry for The Number of the Beast:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/alt/154 ... _the_Beast

Now look at the Tipshop entry for the same game:
https://www.the-tipshop.co.uk/cgi-bin/i ... as_string=

But if you visit the SC entry and click the Tipshop link there, you get a "not found" error.
My educated guess is that perhaps it's because of the alphabetical reordering of the name: "Number of the Beast, The"
...but having said that, the link is done by wosid (a unique ID number), so... hmm...?

It's a problem at Tipshop. This particular page doesn't recognize this ID. I just sent an email to Gerard about it.

If you notice other pages with a similar problem, please let us know!
