"What did you find when you compared the two? "
I found that some didn't work and some did - couldnt' find a link.
"which URL pattern do you expect to be matched?"
I'm not sure. The same as the ones that worked. There's no different code. Why would some work and others not?
"Edit: out of curiosity, what useful information did you glean from the error message?"
Nothing.
I'm now noticing the only ones that work at are the Monkey300 and Jackie546
However, on the page it only posts the first letter of the word. For monkey it just says Item: M - Price: $300, etc.
Before it was saying monkey.
I'm very confused could you just please tell me what the issue is so I can fix it? I've tried a million things for days.
You always assume I'm not putting any effort into it. I think about it a lot before I come to you.
