Not sure where else I can report this, so...
Due to a desired conversion (here), I got a look at this KB article: How Do I Obtain past Data Entries from LabVIEW Controls? Even though the example looks like it works, it leaves a lot to be desired. I expect more from example programs from NI. You can start with my comments made here.
It would also be a good thing to go ahead and post a VI from way far back. There is nothing in there that has not been around for a very long time, so I would expect a Save for Previous to 8.0 to work just fine.

Hi crossrulz,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I'll follow up with the necessary teams to have the content updated.
To address your comment on where to report this, all pages on ni.com now have a "Site Feedback" feature on the right side of the page that you can use to provide feedback on the website.
If you find anything that needs to updated or you have feedback on a webpage you can complete the Site Feedback form, and it will route that feedback to the appropriate NI team. Depending on the type of feedback someone from NI may reach out to you to follow up, or they may simply make the update. I hope this helps in the future!
Update: I jumped the gun on my reply and hit Post too soon. NI will follow up on the Knowledgebase article, but in regards to the code, I noticed you have already posted an updated version of the code in the Conversion board. This is a great opportunity to share the updated code in the Code Exchange so that other Community users can find and use it as well!

I am not seeing that button. Windows 10. Firefox 68.4.1 ESR.

It shouldn't be a browser problem as Firefox is supported. Do you by chance have an ad blocker running?

Not that I am aware of. Corporate could have something running that I am aware of though.

I'd recommend checking to see if your company is running an ad blocker, that's by far the most common reason for the widget to not display.
If they aren't, my next guess is that it may be a privacy setting in your browser. Do you have any configurations in your browser privacy settings that block cookies or pop-ups?
