The ‘Heads up: TFS 2015.2.1 coming’ link displays
“We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page you’re looking for.” in the body content. There appears to be no article at all.
Yes, that seems to be the case now. I’ve noticed this happening a lot with MSDN Blogs posts in the past few weeks (ever since the firehose RSS feed dried up) – hopefully they will get it sorted out
The “Heads up: TFS 2015.2.1 coming” article can be found at: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bharry/2016/04/26/heads-up-tfs-2015-2-1-coming/
(The difference is the date in the URL – ‘2016/04/26’ vs ‘2016/04/25’)
Hmmm….the address I linked to worked yesterday morning (I read the article before I included it, and included it by copying the URL from the browser address bar) – I wonder if there is something strange in the blogs.msdn.com platform which causes the date in the URL to change if the post is edited?
