Why are there so many dead links in Logos?

I really appreciate the all the value and power of Logos bible software :)    But I have noticed that in Rushdooney's Institutes of Biblical law, there are many links to books that are in my library that are just simply dead!  

Is there any way I could report these dead links to the good people at Logos?  I see the  link for repoting typos, but how about dead links?

Does anybody else have dead link problems?

    Rick, can you give us examples of where you find these broken links? I clicked on a few at random in the Institutes of Biblical Law, Vol I, and they connected.

    Rick,

    I'm sorry to hear about your dead links! One reason they may not function is if the links were to books or resources that you do not yet own. Would you be able to give us some examples of the dead links you're experience?

    Hi Charles,

    thanks for responding.  a recent examble of a dead link in on page 114   of biblical Institues of Law, vol1.  He quotes from

    Delitzsch's Comments on Proverbs 29.24, of which I do own.

    i thought that it might be a good idea for a way to report incorrect and dead links back to Logos for correction?

    I dont see a dead link on that page. Could you post a screenshot of what you see?

    Rick, sorry to take so long to get back to you. If it is footnote 6, then it works fine here. I don't own Ingram (for footnotes 7 & 8). On the next page Calvin's observation in footnote 1 works fine. There may be an issue local to you that I cannot replicate.

    Perhaps Jonathan Watson can help (earlier post above).

    Sorry.

    MY MISTAKE!   I realized that I was clicking on the text of the link, instead of the page number:  Mea Culpa.   Thanks for all the quick help  !

    Hey, success! My old laptop's screen was dim, and that was a mistaken I was known to make as well. I'm so glad your resource is working properly though!
