BUG resource link in BI101...
I realize that there is some inconsistency in what is linked or not, based on another thread I started. but this one is a link that exists, but that apparently is not working correctly.
segment 52 at the end, there is a link to Literary Form of Lamentations LBD.
when I click the link, though it does open Lexham Bible Dictionary, but does not open to the correct location. it only opens to the last opened location (in my case was a link from a previous segment about proverbs). I have tried moving to various places in the LBD, closing and then opening with the link, and it always opens to that last opened position.

Thanks Brent. It looks like that link got broken when LBD was updated. It jumps to LBD, but isn't recognizing the specific location (which in this case is the section on "Mesopotamian City Laments" in the Lamentations article). We'll get it fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

another one in segment 54 - The Literary Form of Malachi LBD (points to a place under Aaron as Moses' Prophet)
may want to look at all the links to the LBD.

I have noticed this with a lot of links not just to LBD but also to FSB where the link takes you to the wrong place. Normally it is not to far away but something you may want to get on top of Miles. I really am enjoying these materials and can work with the the incorrect links but to get wide acceptance and credibility for these courses I think the links need to be working correctly. For the price of the product the expectation will be that these sort of things simply work.

DOC, you are right. I checked the links to FSB notes in PD101, it looks like they are jumping to the beginning of the chapter instead of the specific reference. We definitely expect them to work correctly and jump to the specific reference mentioned in the link title. We'll get this fixed and release an update as soon as we can. Note that this issue probably affects all the Fitzpatrick and Walton courses. Let me know if you see any other linking issues.

more link problems segment 87: Simile in the Old Testament NBDTE - opens the NBDTE, but goes to the middle of an article on Wormwood.
also - Similes in the Bible IBI - misses the correct link to Similes and Metaphors by a page or so.

segment 90: Range of Meaning in the Hebrew word yom THSBD - incorrect link

Brent, it looks like the links in BI101 that use page numbers are jumping to the top of whatever page they should be jumping to instead of the precise location. In some places that is easy to see, but in others the correct location may require you paging down quite a bit. The link to Simile in the OT, for example, is jumping to the top of page 938 which happens to be in the Wormwood section of the Plants article. It should be jumping to a section within the Poetry article toward the bottom of page 938. The "Range of Meaning..." link should be jumping to the beginning of "Question 41" in that resource which discusses different uses of yom.
These links should be jumping to the specific locations, and we're looking into why they stopped doing so. In the meantime if you download the BI101—Readings note file then the correct readings will be marked with a blue line. This can help you identify what the readings should be.

thanks Miles. finished that course, and went to a couple more.
This issue seems to be a larger than the one course.
