Links not working

[NumberTheory]

Your goskimresources intermediary seems to be having trouble with some links.

I’ve been getting “Can’t open” pages for the links in this thread:
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5081126-russell-groups-response-to-free-speech

The link in the OP take me to:
https://go.skimresources.com/?id=470X756&isjs=1&jv=15.7.0&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mumsnet.com%2Ftalk%2Fwomens_rights%2F5081126-russell-groups-response-to-free-speech&url=https%3A%2F%2Frussellgroup.ac.uk%2Fmedia%2F6216%2Frussell-group-ofs-approach-to-free-speech-summary.pdf&xs=1&xtz=420&xuuid=8fcfd34c49b9d166aeda048d1a92daf8&cci=66637b917df67546205ac99816d3f8fd

The link down the page for the officeforstudents.org.uk site takes me to:
https://go.skimresources.com/?id=470X756&isjs=1&jv=15.7.0&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mumsnet.com%2Ftalk%2Fwomens_rights%2F5081126-russell-groups-response-to-free-speech&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.officeforstudents.org.uk%2Fmedia%2Fznzlhij1%2Ffree-speech-consultation-guidance-other-matters-final.pdf&xs=1&xtz=420&xuuid=8fcfd34c49b9d166aeda048d1a92daf8&cci=4b193fd654b27ddfe207d8821a609ae0

Hi @NumberTheory thanks for flagging this. It looks like the links have been removed at source, so this isn't an issue at our end. If you scroll down the thread you'll see other people have had this same problem and have linked to alternative sources for the information.

No, that’s not what’s happened. And yes, it was an error on “your” end, though it seems to be resolved now.

Only the first link has been removed and normally when I click on a removed link I get sent to the 404 error on that site (which is what is happening now). Not an unhelpful page on your intermediary’s site.

The second link (and others on the thread - I didn’t bother to put in every example) is not to a removed link.

Whatever the issue was goskimmeresources seems to have resolved it for the moment and the links I gave you are forwarding to the sites they are supposed to. But they weren’t taking me there at the time, they were taking me to an error page on goskimresources.com. Next time I’ll screenshot it.

Hi OP

Thanks for letting us know - please can you get in touch if it happens again?
