However, the new link suggested by @stv is still not correct. I suspect @stv copied it from his browser URL bar not the post.
That URL says (in URL language) "go to thread 119854 page 628 and then scroll the page down after loading to put the top of the screen at HTML anchor called 'post-6860617'". If we eventually have a different number of posts per page that link format will also not work. The only link format that has ever been reliable, or will probably ever be reliable, is one without a target/anchor section (the hash, followed by some text).
There is now a post number in the top RHS of each post, all users should copy and use that. Don't copy from the browser bar. That's specific to how many posts-per-page you have. For post 6860617 the copied link from the number in the top RHS looks like:
You will note there is no hash. This link will always work great. Is is PPP agnostic.
There is also a share icon in the top RHS, it produces the same correct link.
In future, we will need to ask, beg, plead all members to use the link from the top RHS of the post, not copy it from the browser URL bar where a modified link gets put during page display that allows the page to scroll down to the post in question.
TLDR; Always use the link generation tool in the top RHS of a post.
As for this reported broken link, we are now looking into seeing if we can get the correct link generated by looking solely at the post number. On the old forum 90% of users and 100% of non-logged-in guest users were using 20 PPP. That meant that these "brittle" links did work for most people, but they did not work for anyone with a different number of PPP. I always used 50 PPP so they never worked for me due to this issue.
However there is definitely a new issue with the new forum where even though we are all now forced to use 20 PPP, these links are no longer working. This is now being looked into.

I was just the same on the old software. You can't take the URL from the browser bar because that's a relative link, not absolute. Only the link behind the post number is absolute.
Embedded gallery links are now fixed, which was the kind of broken images found in the first post here: https://staging.diyaudio.com/commun...cuit-board-v3-illustrated-build-guide.244788/
Other issues still being looked into.

As reported here, the image links in this article are not working: www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/burning-amplifier-ba-3.194809/, further missing images in articles will be tracked in this dedicated issue thread:

I am unable to see any of the figures after the first three - meaning figures 2 and after are only small question mark icons that do not expand when I click them. Does anyone have suggestions on why I can't see them (I have tried multiple computers PC and Mac, multiple browsers (chrome, safari, firefox)? Alternatively, does anyone know where else these figures might be posted (or re-posted)?
Thanks

The PDF link attached inside this post seems broken, doesn't open up.

FWIW, works for me, here, now. FireFox, Win7, Adobe Reader XI. (Yes, a trailing-edge kinda guy.) I've seen it before and recall I thought there was something odd about it, but it is a decade-old MS-Word product which ought to be routine.
To be sure I closed the browser and reopened it, link still not working, right-click and select "Open link in new tab" opens a new tab next to current, there's a spinner in the tab going for a second and then auto-closes the tab.
Copy link, open a new tab, switching manually to the new tab and pasting the link works.
This is on latest Brave (Version 1.37.109 Chromium: 100.0.4896.60 (Official Build) (64-bit)) browser on Ubuntu, the browser comes in a Snap package which Ubuntu have been pushing lately for their packages, and while I am not really sure if Snap is the cause, it has been a little bit buggy, more buggy on Firefox version.
I wasn't aware of any of this, so I made almost all links in the opening post of https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/valve-dac-from-linear-audio-volume-13.308860/post-5104207 in the wrong way. They certainly don't work on my computer anymore. I can't update them either, apparently because the opening post is longer than the new forum software allows. Anyway, I'm happy that I do know now that it makes a difference from where you copy the links.
