Not available anymore?

UngeheuerLich · Apr 20, 2011

I noticed today, that individual articles in the dragon issue archive are greyed out instead of links, and that Dragon complete issues from 2010 are not available for download anymore.

So the habit of subscribing for 1 month and downloading all recent issues has claimed another victim...

You can still access those articles, but it is very inconvenient, especially when the new CB links you to the issue page...

edit: seems like a lokalizing issue... once again, europe gets the short end of the deal...

edit2: no, can´t be a lokalizing issue... Graufalke lives only 100km or so away from where i live...

The affected Dragon issues seem to be #379 to #391. You can still get the compiled issues the following way:

Copy a link to an issue that's still there, e.g.

Code:

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/dragon/394/394_Dragon.pdf

and change the two numbers to the issue number you'd like to have, e.g.

Code:

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/dragon/391/391_Dragon.pdf

They all seem to work for me. I can get to both articles and full issues.

WotC always did like you best!

I've attached pictures of how it looks on my computer.

Maybe it's a regional problem like the one last year where European users couldn't access the D&D Main Page.

Strange issue... once again... but you trick worked!

That's actually the _only_ way, I've ever been able to download them (because I'm using an ancient web browser without javascript)!

I've run into this intermittently for months now. I'll check the page for old issues, and everything will be greyed out (even if I refresh). I go back 10 minutes later, and it is all available. No idea what causes it, but seems more like website programming failure on WotC's part rather than any change in policy.

Thanks for the tip. I just checked the problematic issues again, and some of them do show a download button for the compiled issue now, though the cover picture is still blank for almost all of them.

Not working for me, either. Nothing for January, on. For weeks now.
