Thanks,

    Yep.

     

    They were working earlier when I posted them.

     

    Now, all the support pages are 404'ing. I guess SmartBear must be updating things?

      Colin_McCrae, heidi_n: There has been a hiccup with the documentation update. We're working to get the docs back ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience!
