I know why the link doesn't work. It's because links to .pdf files and some other links are incompatible with certain options in the software used to run the DF forum. If you look below the [Submit Reply] button, in the "Additional Options" section, under "Miscellaneous Options" there are check boxes called "[x] Automatically parse links in text" and "[x] Automatically retrieve titles from external links" which are checked (on) by default. You have to uncheck them before submitting such a link or it fails quietly.
So here is the link:
This "quiet failure" is so common that I would like to see these options turned OFF by default. I expect that this is just a configuration issue and could be changed without too much fuss. The sexiness that these options provide isn't worth the confusion they cause. IMHO.
