How to resolve a link error suggestion.

Question

On 1 Feb 2023, the page hosting service www3.sympatico.ca was terminated by Bell Canada. The profile for Chiasson-401 had a reference link to an extensive biography that is no longer available. As a Data Doctor, I would like to know how to handle this. I could find no archived link.

Aaron found the captured page for you. For future reference, always check the Wayback Machine for a dead link to see if it was captured:

Thanks Liz, Good advice. My problem was not knowing how to use the Wayback Machine. Aaron showed me how and now I know how to dig a little deeper. I backtracked on my problem link and was able to duplicate what Aaron found. Today I did a few more broken link suggestions and was able to find them all. I also added another tool to my tool bag I found on Google called "Down or Not". Cheers,

Ralph

I put the link into the Wayback Machine and got an archived version.

Thanks Aaron,

You did what I couldn't do. I updated the link in the profile and it works perfectly. You made my day!
