    Is there a PM system on this forum?

    How does one report an error/broken link on today's files?

    Problem with:
    AppCheck Anti-Ransomware 2.5.46.2
    Major Geek's links serve 45.2 NOT 46.2

    Things like that, every once in a while, I'd like to report.
    Thanks

    Did you click on the Report a link that is in red on the download page?

    :eek: Never noticed that.

    In my firefox it's a small link with a red icon that's a lot like the red 'Tip' icon that I regularly ignore.

    I will use it from now on!

    Now that the report link is gone, how do we do it?

    Newer version and appears slightly different in FF ESR and Palemoon. The red ! icon doesn't appear, just the word Tip to report missing Windows files.

    With FF 79, I'm looking at the new page for
    LibreOffice Productivity Suite Portable 7.0.0
    and there is no report a bad link anywhere.

    OH, BTW, none of the links on that page are good. :rolleyes:

    Top left corner of the download page. Click on the author's name and it'll take you to the web-site.

    Click the "Authors site" to get the download. It appears that the majorgeeks links aren't working for some reason.

    I did say that none of the links on that page are good.

    Author's link: LibreOfficePortable_6.4.5_MultilingualAll.paf.exe

    6.4.5 not 7.0.0

    So, what's going on with the 'Report a Bad Link' link?

    I don't mind a thread here on the forums somewhere for this purpose,
    I'd rather not clutter up the app page with reports in comments section.

    The owner of the site should be addressing this issue shortly.

    Hi, our links were correct, the author link was not changed and is fixed. You can email tim@ or mgnews@ any time.
    We have removed a lot on the website to "clean up things" and "report a bad link" was one of them. It wasn't used enough. Not sure why someone else sees it, maybe mobile? Our mobile version needs a ton of work.

    I don't use email all that much, only get on when I'm expecting something like a confirmation email.
    Don't even have email on most devices. I don't have Facebook, twitter, etc. etc. etc.
    I'll use the forum.

    The download pages still resolves into a white page with only:
    404 - Not Found

    The link(s) on the page is:
    https://files1.majorgeeks.com/6e45c36b27587802389b2721a4b445181e51ec81/office/LibreOfficePortable_7.0.0_MultilingualAll.paf .exe
    https://files2.majorgeeks.com/8b92ebcc7520fe436156b99f7d2be8b4686a921d/office/LibreOfficePortable_7.0.0_MultilingualAll.paf .exe

    The Author's Link works now. :)
