Does anyone else get this bad link message when checking for updates in Designer?

When they updated the web site I bet they did not set up the correct pages for the link in Designer.

That's what I thought too.

If I recall, we have to wait for the next release for this to be fixed since the link is in Designer. (Cannot get there from here! LOL)

We have to wait until next release. (you are correct)

we never change links in the designer software, it's up to the web redirects to handle changes. Of course, changes were made and people weren't notified. If the base names stayed the same it would have been fine, but all were changed for no apparent reason.

It kind-of works now.

Thanks Metallus. At least now there's a link to download the software.

Well then, maybe someone could spend an afternoon and make redirects for the links whose names were changed. I think it is important that the links we have posted in the past to help users should be redirected to still work.

What, from the forum? All of them? I wouldn't even know what links they were, or what they may have originally been intended for.

An afternoon?! There are about 9.5 years worth of links in this forum.

I have attempted to redirect the main ones. If you still find one, please let me know and make sure you direct me to where you found the link, not the 404 page that you got.

Thanks
