American Woodturner article download

[Mike Anderson]

Is it just me, or is there a problem with AAW American Woodturner article download? I'm a member in good standing (far as I can tell), when I search articles I get the links but they all give me:

Oops! Something isn't working as expected.​

The links to videos seem to work, but I can't get to the articles. I've tried logout/login, different browsers, different devices, all not working

Any ideas?

Search thing does seem to be having more issues than normal (normally it just doesn't return anything close to what you're looking for). Anyway, at the bottom it does say:

Who should I contact if a link does not work correctly, or if I have a question or think a video should be removed from Explore? Contact AAW at memberservices@woodturner.org.

It does seem that the index of full issues is working, so if you can find the issue for the article you want....

The index is the only way to search which works. But it has not been updated since the end of 2022, so if an article has been published in the last three years -- Good Luck!
The search thing is worse than useless. I've done searches for articles and authors which I know were in AW, but the search can't find them usually, gives me some irrelevant citations, or nothing at all. It's worthless, not just because it is undependable (to put it mildly).
If something was published before 2023, the index will find it, and, as Dave Landers points out, you can open or download the issue. In this case, the old ways work best. It would appear that AAW has abandoned indexing.

wow, had no idea the Search was so messed up, been using it off and on for a few years but never realized it was missing all the recent issues. Any idea if there is a better way to search old issues?

The separate 'Search' -- "Explore: Article Lookup" is simply a mess. It may include the most recent issues, but it would be hard to tell.

It is the actual index -- a separate entity -- which has not been updated for almost three years.

I'm getting the same message. I've used it many, many, times over the years but it doesn't work now. Note, it seems to work fine for videos but anything that's an article give's the "opps" message
