Kong fixed it. Yay! Refresh to pick up the fix.



So we’ve all noticed Kong’s update to chat messed up our raids. I have a workaround for the raid links.


Example:
The original rallying cry for a certain raid is:


http://www.kongregate.com/games/5thPlanetGames/dawn-of-the-dragons?kv_action_type=raidhelp&kv_raid_id=828216&kv_difficulty=4
&kv_raid_boss=phaedra&kv_hash=R02ZKitE3T


You have to take away the &kv_action_type=raidhelp in the middle, leaving


http://www.kongregate.com/games/5thPlanetGames/dawn-of-the-dragons?kv_raid_id=828216&kv_difficulty=4&kv_raid_boss=phaedra&kv_hash=R02ZKitE3T


which displays properly in chat (and my version of the script).


NOTE: My first fix didn’t work. Heh heh. Somebody else got this one. Not taking credit; but since I’ve linked this a few times, I’ll post it here anyways.

if you take out the hash, you might as well not post at all. it displays properly, but does not allow anyone to join the raid

kv_action_type=raidhelp& <- you gotta remove this apparently

Taking credit for being hero of the people ;P

Thanks for posting though, however removing the hash doesn’t work. This does: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/137-dawn-of-the-dragons/topics/283768-chat-bug-fix-raid-links-not-working)

Bah. I tried. But, yep, looks like they got a working fix.
