Which site are you trying to use?

This page seems to work: https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.48.5/platforms/

Thanks so much!

I'm actually not sure how I would navigate to this link from the main page.

The address I'm having problems with is this:
https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.48/windows/32-bit/exe/dl/

Here is how I got there:

(I clicked download, it takes me to the most recent version, then I click the Home >> Downloads link at the top)
https://inkscape.org/en/download/

Click on previous versions "from here" link:
https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.91/

Click 0.48:
https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.48/?latest=1

Click on the Windows icon, then 32 bit, which is the only option, gives me this screen:
https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.48/windows/32-bit/
None of the links on this page seem to work.

Please note that it's crucial for some people to have access to the 0.48 version, since it's the most recent version that works with very large files:

On this page: https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.48/?latest=1

Click on the button that says "All Platforms".

Indeed, the button looks like a header graphic rather than a button.

Yeah, sorry, that's a known bug with inkscape-web.

I had added some extra instructions on the page, that describe what tylerdurden wrote, but you're not the first to overlook them. Not sure what I can change to make it more clear.

Hi Maren,

It might help to change the text on the button to "Click for All Platforms". I think there is room on the button.

If the button color can be changed to green, that would probably help too... I realize green is outside the theme palette, but it is widely recognized as a download button color.

Best,
TD

Thanks, TD - but the bug is a different one, it's that the download isn't working, and that root cause needs to be fixed. The 'all platforms' link/button/page won't be needed by the majority of people afterwards.

Until that'll be done, I can only help by making changes to the website contents, not to its code.
So no button modifying, only text on download page, atm.

Do you think there's a better way to indicate the detour route people need to take?

Can you help with this problem?
