PCmark 7 submission problem

[batboy]

Help me please. I'm trying to submit a score for PCmark 7, but it keeps telling me the compare URL is invalid. It gives me a message that I need to provide a compare URL since my submission will be in the top 20 globally. But, it won't accept what I give them, so I'm stuck in limbo with a good score that I can't sub.

 

How is this not a valid link?

I tried to submit without putting the link into the field, I used the comment section to explain and I put the link into the comments, but it won't allow me to sub without a link. Here is my screenshot set up as per the rules. I had one of my team captains look at it and he thought it looked ok.

 

 

Is there a glitch on HWBOT's end or am I doing something wrong (again)?

[Mr.Scott]

Remove the 's' from https.

I was so hoping it would be that simple.

 

I used the same URL without the s: AMD Radeon RX 580 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-7740X,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF X299 MARK 2

 

I still get the same error message:

 

Validation error: A valid futuremark compare url is required if want to reach the PCMark 7 Hall Of fame. As only 7 benchmark scores are better than you, you need to provide additional verification.

 

I tried to submit with another backup run I had that was a few points less, same error message for it too.

Thanks for trying to help, Scotty. I never knew about those http/https redirects. You might be on the right track. What else can I try?

 

Is there an admin or moderator that I can talk to about this problem?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled PCmark 7 (version 1.4.0 which is what the rules say to use). I updated the Futuremark systeminfo. I have ran the dang benchmark again and here is the verification URL again.

I still get the same error message: Validation error: A valid futuremark compare url is required if want to reach the PCMark 7 Hall Of fame. As only 8 benchmark scores are better than you, you need to provide additional verification.

Still no resolution to this? I've just had the exact same issue.. it's totally frustrating!!

You need to try to use the validation link without the "s" at https because fm creates links randomly with or without this. This was mentioned several times now bc it it a problem for all futuremark benchmarks

[Mr. Fox]

Several members of HWBOT.org have discovered it is not possible to submit results for PCMark 7. The submission form is not recognizing the compare URL. We are attempting to submit everything required and the submission form is throwing errors.

 

Example of the problem is shown in this screen shot:

Just saw this other thread, so you can merge this with it. http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=173062

Removing the "s" does not work. I tried doing that twice and get the same error.

 

I have tried this multiple times and removing the "S" in the URL does not work. Still get the same error about the URL.

I tried reporting this sometime back at the beginning of 2017. This is over a year old problem that has not been resolved. I've tried both with and without the "s". I gave up until trying it recently, in hopes that the changes made over the year would have resolved the issue. Nope.

[Johnksss]

It is also noted that the URL does work if you use the "S" or not, but that is not the problem.

 

The problem is once you post a score that resides in the top 10, the URL is (Allegedly) then broken and the result becomes invalid.

[websmile]

Maybe some of you post the links here so I can try it and find the error

Now if I change that score to like 8590, then it becomes invalid and the validation link stops working.

This is extremely annoying - I was able to submit by removing the "s" from "https" plus removing the "www." of the link - this benchmarks needs a screenshot as far as I can see and it can be submitted without, another problem

Possibly because your an admin on this site and the rest of us are peasants.

 

Edit:

I just tried about 20 different edits and it still won't take.

Nah, I have tried exactly what you said at least a half dozen times. No dice. I think John might be onto something with the permissions.

 

Here's my link...

Edit: Just tried it again to see if it has been fixed yet and it has not. Used URL without www or anything to the left of 3dmark as suggested and I still get exactly the same error.

reconfirmed that the submission form is still broken

THANK YOU. Yeah, weird way to enter the URL, but that worked. Now we both have identical PCMark 7 scores. How do you like my 8700K? http://hwbot.org/submission/3714129_

Niuce score - I think the test did its purpose and now people can orientate on link format shown at your sub
