Link that doesn't work

Post by MikeinHawaii » Fri Feb 12, 2010 5:45 pm

Hello to the longtime Rev user community. When I go to the Exploring Revolution page and then click on the icon for revUp newsletter I get the following:

Page Not Found
RunRev 404

Is there such an animal as the revUP newsletter still in existence? Could it be my browser (Safari 1.3.2, OS 10.3.9) won't work the link?
Just curious and eager for learning and growth in Rev.

Thank you for that link, that works. Now I am double curious. Going the route I posted about results in this header and the page I posted.
http://www.runrev.com/developers/explor ... wsletters/. The bad link seems to come from the part /exploring-revolution/ Somebody at the rev home site ought to update the links maybe.

OK - now I'm curious... where did you find that broken link?

I went to Developers | Developers Home and scrolled down a bit to revUp Newsletter.

Ok, you know that front stack that pops up in Rev Media? If you click "Get Started" (which is pretty much where I am at sad to say...) then it has a drop down that contains a link called "Exploring Revolution". Hit that, scroll down, and there you go. Same effect for a couple of the other icon buttons.

Ah... gotcha. Yep, those seem to be old broken links.

Not that it makes a big deal, but it probably throws off other new users besides me. Now if I was the CEO of a corp that produced an authoring package for sale to the public, that promises ease of use design, my website buttons would all be working all the time if you know what I mean, but hey, thats just me...

I agree.

Sadly, RunRev never was a company that invested much into a smooth user guidance or spit and polish. In addition, they have a policy of not reading the forums, so I suggest you direct your dissatisfaction and improvement hints directly to support AT runrev DOT com.

I don't think I stated any dissatisfaction at all, as a matter of fact I am quite satisfied to have purchased Enterprise.
This forum is a great place as well. Have a nice day :)

Nonetheless, this *is* buggy behavior, and it won't get fixed unless someone brings it to the team's attention.
I filed a bug report on it, so hopefully the next version will fix this.
