Q: Links to doc broken… sent to Apple Support home page?!

Hello, throughout this discussion board people have troubles doing something and ask a question here.

 

Some wonderful soul comes along and says "here, go to this Apple document page to learn how to do it."

 

But I've discovered that these links are no longer working.

I search for some help on something and find the kind person's response from an old thread that will ultimately solve my problem.

 

I click the link… (e.g. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303471)

but I'm not taken to the document any longer.

 

I'm instead taken to Apple's Support home page!

What gives!? Are these documents forever lost? Has Apple once again changed the system that contains all these documents and they now have new IDs and URLs? If so, then this is about the third time they've done this and it is getting most frustrating.

 

I can no longer find anything on this site anymore. Instead I have to drill down from the home page, hoping that I find it. But I don't.

 

Are these docs still there, hopefully with the same number, just a different URL structure?

 

Help!
