Broken links

[legal01]

I have been trying to download some of the VF1 Fighters in the download section and found that there is allot of brokan links to the download. Please could this be fixed.

Thanks:confused:

internal links or external? NOthing internal should be broken. Can you post one here thats busted so I can peek? You can also message the person that added the file directly to make sure they see the problem in case its hosted off site!
Thanks

Its in the Animae section with the links for VF1 Pilots and VF1A Hikuru/Rick showing broken links. I think those are internal links.

Can you please try the one you listed again as it works for me. When I click on the download button, a pdf opens in my browser window.

working for me too! Might need to clear your cache? :)

I can now get the pilots but when I try and download the HJunter VF1A I get a broken link notice. Screenshot as attached.

[cgutzmer]

can you please include a link to the download you are trying to get (the actual download page - not the final link to the model) there are two vf-1a models I can see in the downloads area and they both work for me.

I think based on your screenshot you are looking at the ichijo one? That one opens as a pdf in your browser window - it does not download when clicking on the link (at least not for me) Sounds like an issue with your browser/temp files or something of the sort. What operating system, browser and pdf viewing software do you have installed (default)?
Thanks

Just a notice, I´ve tried to download the pilots just now as well.
I´ve got them on my computer with no problem at all.

The file opens in my PDF reader.

I hope this may be of some help.

I am on Windows XP professional with all service packes, IE8 and Adobe 10.1. All the other links work just fine and load into pdf or as a zip no problem. The links are
http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=261 (http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=261)
http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=261&act=down (http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=261&act=down)

Thanks

Seems to be something wrong with your PC, the page and direct link work fine for me.

Try this instead:

http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/downloads/ec_tmp/VF-1AHunter-Ichijo.pdf

If you check your screenshot, there's a //ec_tmp - I removed the second slash to see if it loads better in your browser. Both versions of the URL work fine for me.

You may want to right click and open in another window, that has worked for me in the past with other web-sites such as Roddenberry.com.

[cgutzmer]

very odd - they all work for me too - check adobe for your opening in browser settings. I know I have had to do as opalmox suggests as well on a couple sites when opening pdf's directly on the net instead of downloading.
