  • On the [advertisement page](https://collab.codidact.org/ca) of [Codidact Collab](https://collab.codidact.org/), there are five types of advertisement templates available:
  • 1. Codidact network
  • 2. Community
  • 3. Random posts
  • 4. Specific post
  • 5. Random from Category
  • This specific post is about number 3 (Random posts) and number 5 (Random from Category)
  • <details>
  • <summary>"Random posts" advertisement template</summary>
  • On the preview itself, we can see that instead of showing a random post, the image just shows the "Community" ad.
  • Here is a screenshot (the erroneous part is marked inside a red rectangle):

  • While this doesn't have a preview, it does have instructions on how to use it. They say:
  • > _Replace X with the category ID_
  • In the provided image link:
  • > https://collab.codidact.org/ca/category/X.png
  • Codidact Collab has a [Q&A Category](https://collab.codidact.org/categories/56) whose "Category ID" seems to be `56`.
  • Replacing "X" with "56" in the image URL makes it `https://collab.codidact.org/ca/category/56.png`.
  • But loading that image results in a 404 (here is a screenshot):

Codidact Collab has a [Q&A Category](https://collab.codidact.org/categories/56) whose "Category ID" seems to be `56`.
