    WTF@TFW - 51 - July 9 2009

    Be forewarned, the spoiler embargo is over, and movie details are fair game! Vangelus, Drew, Gogdog, and Seth join hands to record a podcast right after recording the second ROTF podcast.

    NOTE: Due to an Audacity glitch, Drew's audio had to be spliced in from the master recording after the Intermission. This caused some minor echo effects that could not be avoided in any way.

    P.S.!

    Does anyone who knows stuff about iTunes and/or the Zune store have any idea how to fix those links? D: They used to work here and there, but now seem to be universal fail.

    Not sure on the Zune yet...

    Does this help for ITunes? The message seems to be indicating that your Linkshare Affiliate Site ID is wrong. I don't know where you're specifying that, but perhaps you do? I looked back at the old Itunes links and they also don't work. Did the linkshare ID expire or change?

    The linkshare ID apparently expired a few weeks ago. We will replace the link with a direct iTunes Store link until someone tells us it's fixed.

    The Zune store has never worked right. :lol  Oh, Zune...

    The Zune store worked for one guy! I remember it because he actually went and found a fix!

    ...that worked for him at least!

    Alright, here's your Zune issue. The link is:

    zune://subscribe/?WTF@TFW=http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=404

    If you take that and paste it into your address bar and press enter it works -- or at least it does for me. Ideally though we'd like a link, like you guys do for Itunes:

    Totally busted

    However, behind the scenes the board software has to replace some of the characters that would cause trouble in the code. So, even though it appears right when you hover over the link, in actuality it is this:

    zune://subscribe/?WTF@TFW=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tfw2005.com%2Fboards%2Fexternal.php%3Ftype%3Drss2&forumids=404

    The Zune software chokes on these characters for some reason - it doesn't recognize %3A as ":" and %2F as "/", etc. If you copy and paste the above into your address bar you'll see that it no longer works.

    So, option one is to speak to someone who knows more about the board software here and ask if there is a way to stop it from replacing those characters. It might not be possible, in which case I discovered that if you set up a tinyurl to "zune://subscribe/?WTF@TFW=http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=404" it works, at least for me:

    zune://subscribe/?WTF@TFW=http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=404

    So, call it whatever you want when you create the link ("High Quality Microsoft Product Link"?), just make sure it points to "http://tinyurl.com/nkahu5" if you want to use tinyurl.

    Well, technically, old Jetfire was in his Prime, too... ;)
