Does anyone else experience this? Seems like every time the BD social feed updates the link reports an error on BD's webpage.

Happened to me yesterday. They had an interesting looking video. I clicked the link. Error.

Ya I was tempted to start a thread myself. This drives me nuts. They post semi-interesting looking links but they take several days before the link work. Usually the video is not found for a couple of days and then I get password protected for a day or two and then finally it starts working.

Thanks for the note guys. I see you posted this today (11/17), but the latest articles from BD are from 11/14, and they all work.

Perhaps there was a link up there that has already disappeared (which would indicate the BD fixed the problem proactively)?

Or are you talking about the existing links, that only started working now?

If you remember gist fo the article, I might be able to ask them if they know what happened.

The Joe Kinder 30 Days in Norway just started working for me today although it has shown up here for several days now.

For me almost everytime a link is posted the first day or so is bad. This has been a recurrent problem for a few weeks.

The most recent link I'm talking about was the new avy knowledge content, but it happens with almost all their links for me when initially posted.

Thanks guys. BD confirmed the bug (headlines are released before the content is done), and I have updated our code to delay their new headlines for a couple days to hopefully eliminate this problem.
