Bug Report

The following link, linked from the entry on chocolate, doesn't work. Nor, seemingly, does anything linked from the page that tells you that you've stumbled on a broken link. Some notable examples are the bug report link, feedback, and help. The bug report link also seems not to be there at all, or else I would have posted something there.

Thanks,
Shimoda

yepp, the link in the chocolate entry appears under 'Referenced Sites' which means 'external to BBC/h2g2' -- starting the link with www.bbb.co.uk/... is obviously an error.

A second error (which is also within the link you copied above) is that there's an additional 'h2g2' in the URL when the error page appears. Therefore the error page fails as well, something like an endless loop smiley - smiley

actually that's a 'www2' dot-something link over there. Never heard of h2g2 being referenced from 'www2'

Note to Mod: this is an *error* report, and hence it *does* contain a broken link. Feel free to do what you must, but deleting the link won't be overly constructive in deleting the error... smiley - hug

FYI the 'swf' extension indicates a Flash Player Movie, which is a vector graphics and animation plugin seen more and more frequently at web sites. Not that this helps with anything, just thought I'd pass it on.... smiley - smiley
