Inconsistent linking
This entry links to Replay and Singular as releasers and Arok Party Wild compo #1 as compo and more.
Raster Split Fun
However it does not show up on either Replay, Singular, Arok Party Wild compo, Scorpy's or Eclipse's releases or even on the latest releases list or search. Basically it's impossible to find unless someone comments on the release.
What's going on? |

User error, but let’s not derail the thread more than that. :) |

Actually there is (hidden under "view mode" - been a while since i looked at this).
However, what i said still stands - even if "related Release" is enabled. |

I see it and I just tested it, checked "Related Release" and the release appears on the Replay list, unchecked and it disappears. I don't know what are you doing. |

Thanks, for explanation! Changed to custom, selected everything (EF was missing by default). Works now. |

Must be yet another db screwup then. I also get 0 results when searching for "related Release", for example. (And yes, its selected)
edit: switched it forth and back, now it works. funky |

I also wonder why the Download URL shown and the actual download URL differ, even in ID.
Example:
Galaxy Walker
has download link shown as
https://csdb.dk/getinternalfile.php/256976/C7_Galaxy_Walker.d64
but is actually linking to
https://csdb.dk/release/download.php?id=297619

I guess it's because multiple entries can have the same file.
When uploading the same file that already exists the db assigns to it a new record entry as id pointing to the existing file without duplicating it.
So 2 ids from different entries can point to the physical same binary. |

That actually makes sense but I still find it bad practice to show a technically wrong URL. Why not simply name it "Download" or something pointing at the same target?
Its just csdb i guess... |

It shouldn't be your concern, the db works this way.
Unless you volunteer to take over and redo it. |

but yeah im aware what csdb is and how it is maintained. so i guess we should all be happy it still works and is active and thats about it. |
