IDNet web page broken

this post is not exactly LV... but rather IDNET and ni.com related. I can understand the website is going thru some updates and branding; but please maintain usability of the pages during this transition period. Thanks

 

the missing button hides the download link from view and wasted user's time checking and rechecking for download links. until the mouse pointer was hovered over the empty column and noticed the arrow transformed into the pointing hand... 🙄 really? It is weeks short from April to pull such a prank on us. please fix it... and thanks

other pages need improvements too, datasheet lacking, hard to reach links for manuals, etc, broken links, unfriendly product filters, or a dedicated thread for ni.com (if there is one, please pardon me and move the post to that thread)

Hi CY,

 

for me ni.com/idnet is working as expected…

Best regards,

Hi GerdW

 

I have retested in chrome88, edge89 and ie11; all pages have no buttons, white link text and background.

 

perhaps different server?

Hi CY,

 

I just opened "ni.com/idnet", then I got forwarded according to my country settings. Then I searched for "2400" to pick the driver for the Keithley 2400 devices:

There are "Download Driver now" buttons and I can start the download!

(Firefox86.0)

 

I just tested with Chrome89: it also works as expected…

Best regards,
GerdW

I think it may be a regional thing, previously detected mismatched package checksum in my region but the package downloaded in US matched. they have since rectified the problem

retested in a number of different PCs and only my current system is not displaying the webpage properly. this is an isolated incident. IDNET is good and working
