404s on Username Changes
It seems that when you change the username in Airtable, you then need to rebuild the whole site to remove the 404.
https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/sampoder/ is 404ing :(((
https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/sampoder/?welcome=false is not interestingly
my theory is this is due to the pre-rendering, going to explore :D
Yeah, something about prerendering. I wonder if fetching the page in advance with URL parameters would help with this?
ahh so we made some progress: it now only 404s when you reset your profile to a username that would have been pre rendered. So for example changing my name from sampoder -> sam it works, but sam to sampoder doesn't
If I’m understanding you correctly, that sounds fine. We pre-render the most active users’ profile pages, which obviously includes you, so if you changed your username back to something pre-rendered, it won’t re-render. If it’s working if you change your username to something randomly new, that’s perfect
@sampoder since we're back into scrapbook- is this something that needs to be addressed?
