Author? What’s that?

I’ve noticed that some developers don’t have pages. As in, you click the ‘view all entries’ button in their entry, and it says ‘not found’. I also noticed that Pov was talking about authors. He said that there were certain criteria to become an author. I couldn’t find anything about this in the rules. Can someone please shed some light on the subject?

I noticed the same thing. I don’t think it was always this way and it’s very frustrating to get not found pages.

The same applies to the View Journal of quite some users. I can’t remember it from the previous entries as I normally check for some posts by the creator when I finish their game.

From what I understand, authors are only the participants which posted the game.

The other members (for JAM teams) are not considered as authors this way.

I think this problem’s been around ever since I joined, a year ago.

Authors are users who can make posts. It’s not a special privilege.
