I think I found a link error:
The GoTo link for the Triathlete Badge leads to the Triathlon Badge.
Try it out at the following page:

It leads to the Triathlon for me (http://www.funtrivia.com/triboard.cfm), which is where it's supposed to lead to, I'd imagine.

Looney, did you click the actual "goto" button or the writing "Triathlete"? Because I clicked on the "Triathlete" writing and got to Triathlete.

EDIT: Seadancer, next time you might not want to type the name of the thread in full capitals. It comes off to me as annoying and attention-seeking, although I'm sure you didn't mean it to.

I edited the topic title from uppercase - that is shouting and can be upsetting as AdamM7 has mentioned.

I didn't navigate myself, I followed the instructions:

The link on the Badges I Have Won page that says Triathlete correctly leads to Triathlete, not to the Triathlon Badge as stated.

But seadancer didn't say that Triathlete leads to Triathlon badge, (s)he said that the goto link leads to the Triathlon badge.

EDIT: Go to the page and find "Triathlete", around the 350 winners mark. It says "Triathlete (341) Awarded to a player who scores at least 2750 points COMBINED in a single hour's Hard, Easy, and Mixed games. goto" . Click the goto button.

Got it - I wasn't properly awake. The link does lead to the Triathlon results page, as seadancer stated, because that is where you can see the results and determine whether or not you scored the 2750 needed for the Triathlete Badge. The same page shows who got the top score and won the Triathlon Badge, so it makes sense that both links would go to the same screen that gives the relevant results.

Looney, as I said, the GoTo link of Trathlete still leads to Triathlon. Did you try the GoTo link as I had described?

OK, if you say so. But I still don't understand the reasoning. If it says it leads to Triathlete, I think it should go to a clear explanation of Triathlete, not to Triathlon.

I thought seadancer said it led to the Triathlon badge, as opposed to the actual Triathlon page. But I got to the Triathlon page as well, so you clicked the right thing this time. :P

The Triathlon Link doesn't seem to be working. When I click on it I'm getting a HTTP 500 Internal Error. Does that sound computer literate or what?

In my words the triathlon link thingee is broke smile

I got one around an hour ago as well, but it's working fine now for me. Does it work for you as well?
