Go ahead and fix 'em, or delete the bad links. As explained before, you subscribers can edit in the wiki. Check out the users guide if you have questions 73 Mike

Since I didn't put them up I thought if I pointed it out whoever had put them there in the first place may be able to fix them.

Let me stress something here. ANYONE can edit the wiki, and fix/delete links, regardless of the individual(s) who might have put something on an article. If you find something that's wrong, don't be shy about fixing it. If you really mess up an article, it can be reverted back to its original form, and no harm done. The user manual addresses this point clearly. No one is going to bent out of shape if you edit/delete a link that is bad -- in fact, the opposite is likely true - they're like to appreciate the effort.

Whomever originally put the links there might not be around anymore - it's hard to say. That's why we depend on many other pairs of eyes to get things straightened out when they change, like is the case here. I appreciate the note about the bad links, but taking the time to fix them is, frankly, a trivial exercise. 73 Mike

Cool. Learning something new again today. Poked around a bit but couldn't seem to log on to edit. Probably simple solution. Will give it another shot after the race is over.

Before you delete good information from the wiki.

Make sure you double check the website to see if the URL was changed to another URL to prevent hot linking. and look for the new link. If you look the new URL for 'OUT2OSW.exe' zip file is on the download page of that site.

Right on. So for that case the hyperlink just needs to be edited.
