Item name linking to manufacturer name

In some gear names the manufacturer name is a hyperlink, showing other gear from that manufacturer. For example Elektron Analog Rytm MKII links to Elektron. However, Elektron Analog Four MKII and Elektron Sid Station and Elektron Digitone and Elektron Analog Heat MKII do not have "Elektron" linked. Similarly, Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro links to Mackie but Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro doesn't.

What determines this? Is there any way users can edit the gear details to make the linking happen?

GEAR:
  • Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1UW MKII
  • Korg KAOSS Pad 3
  • Roland Boutique TB-03

Those items haven't had their brand pages configured yet. It's an option in the "Edit details" tab.

GEAR:
  • sE Electronics V7
  • Fender Vintage Series '57 Stratocaster
  • Blank slot

I've looked for it in the edit details page several times, and don't see anything relevant. Do I need more than 258 IQ to see it?

OK, thanks for confirming.

OK, thanks for confirming.

I confirmed all of your spots, as they were all correct & impressively complete.

So can you do it now, with 898 points?

You're a real one, pkennethk.

How much IQ do I need to delete item photos?

The first photo of the Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 mki and the first photo of the Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1UW mki are both wrong. They show SPS-1 mkii and SPS-1UW mkii respectively. You can tell because the mki units have three LEDs in the bottom right corner, and the mkii have four. I've just added a second image to each of them, showing the correct mki models, but I am not able to remove the bad images.

I'm curious about the removing/replacing gear images too. About half a year ago I was unable to do this successfully, in that I'd execute the swap/update, and the image would then appear corrupt for everyone. It didn't matter what browser or image type I used. Then item images on the entire site when screwy for awhile, and disappeared in many contexts. I haven't checked-in on where things are at lately. I'd love to be able to get back to improving item images, but kinda got scared off from it.

Does anyone on the inside have any technical updates on this front?

Also, per pofm's inquiries, have the new IQ thresholds been posted for what privileges open up at what IQ milestones?
