All I can add is that the ROG Board is looking into revamping the site.
It would help if you listed which Link you were having issues with so that it could be looked at, or are you saying that none work for you?

We are aware that some links in the technical library don't work, but this site is entirely managed and operated by your fellow owners, who volunteer their time. None of us has web design experience, so all current limited knowledge is self-learned.

Yes, some broken links exist, but unfortunately we are unable to fix them without the possibility of taking down the entire website.

As Michelle noted, if you can advise which links you were trying to access, I will check it out and hopefully suggest a work around.

We are also investigating developing a much simpler website that can be managed and operated without IS/IT/Web Design experience.

More sites than I can name. Most sites give me similar message as below:

In addition to some of the technical library links, we also have a few documents in the technical library that provides links to external sources. These were all checked when created about 3 yeas ago, but over time some may not be valid.

Without providing me at least 1 or 2 specific examples, I have no ability to check. As both Michelle and I requested, please provide at least 1 or 2 links that you find don't work.

Thanks Andy,

Joe,

Took a look at the settings, but can't figure out what is wrong. Seems that any that are directed to another source aren't working.

Will fix it when we get a new website up and running.

Thanks Chris - checked each of them and I received the same error screen. Not sure what has caused it and don't want to possibly crash the website trying to fix it.

We are looking at a more user friendly website and I'll get everything working at that time.

notice "No Dash"
