2.The link to another Post on old Page not Found.

Same Post as No.1

I can access the page by fixing the address.

3.GitHub Code not Showing.

Hi Ryo!

Wow! You really did some serious testing, thanks!

Regarding 1: Agree! The links are disabled in my browser too!

Regarding 2: I confirm that some of the links to older threads don´t work. Aras used a different forum engine in the past. The affected links lead to the posts in the "old" forum. Maybe they can update them.

Regarding 3: The Github Gists are not a real bug, it´s more a legal restriction cause of GDPR.
Privacy requirements have changed, so Aras did remove the direct embedding of the Github gist code.
As soon as you would have watched the embedded code at the Aras website, Github would collect your data too.
This is a problem for Aras, because they would have to actively tell you that there is Github in the background tracking you.

So they choose the "legally approved" variant. Users have to actively click the link by themselves. They decide they want to visit GitHub, not Aras.

There is a whole industry to sue websites for trivial privacy issues like this one. This is why we cannot have nice things like the indeed useful embedded code....

I plan to visit an Aras Connect event in the next weeks. I hope I am able to get more information of who is now in charge for the forum.

Until than, thanks for your report!
