Hi, I'm using version 7.12.1 on windos 7 x86, localized Italian.
The 3 menu entries under Help (Support, Manual and Web Site) are broken, with a ' /manager_links.php' link not existing

Is it something known?

Yes, it is. Something about that has been mentioned here:

There's been some website changes under the hood, which in turn broke those links.

Is that really it? All the links I see from BOINC manager are project links and they all seem to work normally. (Well, they do now my only project is back up and running.) If links from BM are broken isn't that more likely to be an individual project problem?

On my machines, the links that BOINC Manager creates are exactly the same as always, and the default browser is invoked normally.

The problem, which is ongoing, is as stated in the error message:

The requested URL /manager_links.php was not found on this server.
A necessary file has been moved or deleted on this server.
