It's amazing how often things break with absolutely no indication of why or what caused it. Load a page, get a completely blank screen or component. Why? No clue. Everything just silently fails and redirects you to a happy path, e.g. back to a home page or a starting screen. Maybe if you're lucky you'll get an "Oops, try again later or contact support for more help!"
- jabroni_salad 4y agoThe fashion industry is so rife with this. It seems like any URL that is more than a day old is going to 404 or silently redirect to the front page of the store.
- yamtaddle 4y agoSuper frustrating if you read fashion-related reddits. 90+% of links on posts more than a few months old are dead. Only the ones that go to Instagram albums or something like that, are usually still OK. True even for companies that mostly sell "timeless" fashions.
- jabroni_salad 4y agoYep, my workflow is Find something cool in an MFA inspo album -> find it in the comments -> 404. I dont know why I even bother sometimes. It's literally every brand from small botique to the gap, so it must be 'working' somehow, right?
