Before I contact Support I wondered if anyone else had noticed this: today, first noticed around 2/24/2018 12:00 PM Pacific time, I have been seeing RSS feed items with broken title links of form similar to http://unicorn_feeds_back/works/13786644, rather than the expected http://archiveofourown.org/works/13786644. In such a feed item with this "unicorn feeds back" bit, in fact all the links are broken in the same way - http://unicorn_feeds_back/users/BlutEngel/pseuds/BlutEngel, http://unicorn_feeds_back/series/953235, http://unicorn_feeds_back/tags/Harry%20Potter%20-%20J*d*%20K*d*%20Rowling/works etc. Right now I am seeing both correct and broken items in the same feed, but mostly broken ones (Severus Snape character tag feed). Anyone else getting this?

Hi, shyfoxling:

This is not official communication, but I am on the Support team.

We're aware of this - our sysadmins are trying to spool up a new front end machine and it very much was not going well yesterday or this morning. Lots of different pages were seeing the internal unicorn (task handler) calls instead of the page. They've rolled back the changes, but the feeds are going to be iffy until the cached xml files update. Generally, if you replace

http://unicorn_*/works/13786644

with

http://ao3.org/works/13786644

the links will load properly. (You may need to use https to cache-bust.)

Gotcha. (I had figured out the workaround.) Thanks for the info!
