Link Loop in Technical Article 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
In the tech article "Adjust your Road Star's Valves Using a Dial Indicator," there are several link references to an animation, and it indicates there are 8 figures associated with the article. When I click on the animation link, it tells me it's been permanently removed and the link there brings me back to the article (nice loop). The article itself only shows a Figure 1.

Questions for the forum gurus: What am I missing here? Are the figures at least still available?

Unfortunately the figures are no longer available. We imported Mr. Tidy's content late in 2003 while we were still on a shared hosing account. I had to reduce our file usage on that account so went through Mr Tidy's graphics files and proceeded to compress each one of them to reduce their file sizes. I didn't even think about animated graphics when I did it, and by the time someone figured out that the animated versions weren't working, Mr Tidy has released his original site back to the hosting company he used (so no original copies).

We need to fix the links in that article and perhaps change the wording as the content is still valuable even without the pics. The different figures were originally all embedded into a single graphic that ran slide show style.
