I am finding that all links from the forum that reference the hub (i.e. links to workflows and components ) in past messages are currently broken. Likewise a search from google such as `takbb knime hub components`, which would get me to my hub space is broken: ![image](https://forum-cdn.knime.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/e/3e03d024fd1fb29167eac40b759ed7a3f5e29f68.png) I know there was a “[maintenance window](https://forum.knime.com/t/knime-community-hub-maintenance-window/73644)” announced for last Friday. Is this still ongoing? So for example what used to be `https://hub.knime.com/takbb/spaces/Public/latest/Components/` is currently `https://hub.knime.com/takbb/spaces/Public/Components~TBlpPuxtDio6lupP/` Hopefully this is just a temporary situation, because at the moment, as far as I can see all forum posts directing people to example workflows and some of the amazing resources that other people have built up are all currently broken e.g. see try accessing link from this post: > [@Enhancement -- Duplicate Row Filter - Add additional conditions](https://forum.knime.com/t/enhancement-duplicate-row-filter-add-additional-conditions/34263/3): > > @Snowy I know that this suggestion is not strictly keeping it within KNIME but you could think about using H2 and [window functions](https://forum.knime.com/t/sqlite-and-window-functions/31608/4) to use enhanced sorting and [de-duplication](https://forum.knime.com/t/school-of-duplicates-and-how-to-deal-with-them/24164): or this > [@Write to Excel Template can't select sheets to write](https://forum.knime.com/t/write-to-excel-template-cant-select-sheets-to-write/67556/16): > > Hi @quangdatitc , I had a little talk with chatGPT wink which these days is my go-to code writer to produce the base code which I then tweak… Anyway together we’ve come up with the following: You give this component the absolute location string of an existing xlsx file, along with the name of the sheet contained within it that you want to clone. You also supply the location of an output file, and a comma-separated list of sheet names, and it will (in theory!) clone the sheet to the output… or the component link here: > [@Excel Reader and date formatting](https://forum.knime.com/t/excel-reader-and-date-formatting/44849/4): > > @izaychik63, I’ve worked this into a component. Feel free to give it a try and let me know if there are any issues. It might save time if it is something you often encounter. Add this after your excel reader and choose the offending columns. It will append datetime versions of each into your data table. ---

Hello there, thank you for letting us know. We noticed broken links from the forum as well and we are currently working on a fix for this! Will keep you updated! ---

@tschmidt one can still search for the unique IDs and then one can find the missing workflow, but the URL is different. Also the ‘full’ URL would no longer work without the extension of the individual ID. ---

Dear @takbb @mlauber71 , we released a fix on [hub.knime.com](http://hub.knime.com) to make the links working again. I checked the links from the examples in the post above and they seem to work again. Let us know if you notice anything else! ---

Thanks @tschmidt, the links I’ve tried are good again. I’ve noticed though that for about the past hour the forum has slowed down considerably. Actions such as saving a post or even browsing the forum can take many seconds, where normally it is instant. Is this related, or is there something else occurring? I’m seeing this on both my home pc, and also on my work laptop. Other sites seem fine and my broadband speed is well up, so I assume it’s not local to me) ---

A banner eventually popped up that the forum was under extreme load so someone was probably trying to brute force their way in to steal some data 😉 ---

That was probably me going through testing every historic forum link to the hub 😉 (before I get thrown out, I’m just kidding 🙂 ) ---

We just restarted the underlying infrastructure. We will keep investigating what happened. Thank you for reporting 🙂
