Historical Information:​

​

The Obsidian Star Mega-Complex, also known as The Spire, was originally built to be the headquarters of a Core-based mega-corporation. When the corporation in question was decimated as a result of the Gulag Plague, the founders of Obsidian Star were able to acquire the building for a fraction of its original cost. Today, Obsidian Star uses The Spire as its headquarters, central showroom and primary manufacturing plant. In addition, it operates a large shopping concourse and luxury hotel in an effort to offset the costs of maintaining such a massive building.

Some of your image credit links default back to the Artstation/DeviantArt homepage rather than the direct artist/art page. Please check your links and fix the ones that seem to have this problem.

Hi, I just checked all my links and they're all taking me directly to the specific entries. Can you tell me which links are giving you troubles?

 

[Jairus Starvald]

[member="Beltran Rarr"] | [member="Arekk"]

Oddly enough when I quoted them and looked at their direct address they do link to the pages necessary, but for some reason when they are being clicked they lead back to the homepage of the art website.

I had it checked by others in the Codex team and they ran into the same problem.

Instead of going back and forth about it, can I edit your submission and try to fix it myself? I will only do so with your permission.

 

[Beltran Rarr]

[member="Jairus Starvald"]

Yeah, go for it! I'm honestly at a loss because I'm not having that problem.

Just took a look and figured out what the issue is: you currently have two hyperlinks where it might look like you only have one. It blends together depending on where you click and that causes the issue.

All you need to do is remove the entire hyperlink and just hyperlink it straight to the art page without the homepage link behind it.

 

[Beltran Rarr]

Okay, I'll have a look and tag you when I'm done.

[member="Jairus Starvald"]

Okay, I re-linked all of them so hopefully that did it. They all work for me, but so did the other ones so that's not a great measure lol.

 

[Jairus Starvald]

[member="Beltran Rarr"] | [member="Arekk"]

Yup, that's perfect and the links work fine now.

Pending secondary approval!
