We are detecting we have a bug that might have something to do with a bad link or maybe a logout problem, but I don't know where it is...

What I am finding is a lot of people trying to access a URL like this
\team\player\xxxxx\overview.aspx

which is suppose to be
\player\xxxx\overview.aspx

now also oddly all these links come from people who appear to be logged out, their session has no userid associated with it.

Can anyone lead me in the direction of what is causing this bug? It appears to be the leading cause of errors on the site right now, excluding the occaional timeout problems related to trying to bid on players while they are playing in a match.

I reckon there will be some sort of session ID if the person is logged in with a security code instead of a password.

no this isn't the BBAPI, this is trying to access an aspx page, by external site i mean some site that has links to BB pages, not linked to BB data.

I understood the question, I was just tossing out ideas.

Not sure if I understand it but isn't it related to the unexpected log outs some of us are experiencing ? I have them sometimes and can always access the required page only not under my userid. It might look like i am linking from an external site but I am not, I am logged out in the process.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I noticed that with the new site I get an error (almost) every time I try to access a team-manager's page from a press release answer.
Not a big issue, actually, but maybe it could be useful to know!

Might it have something to do with the broken flag links in the NT roster pages?

When you click the flags from a NT roster page, it returns a file not found error.

Is the problem browser related? Or is it impossible to say that?
