I have the same problem. It’s one that I know have happened a few times and usually you have to DM your project to staff. One of the ways I work around it, is to copy all my screens and then manually create the project again from the copied screens. ---

I have also been having that problem, but have found no work around. Sorry for missing that in your original post. But yeah, I have come across that issue as well with remixing ---

Hey @domhnallohanlon, This problem is going on from last week. Not a problem of one link, I have trying with many remix links including your cafe sample app, design challenge’s chat app and some from @darren’s toolkit. But nothing opens, else it shows some error! Please help, ---

Yes, we’re aware of this @tobi - we improved the way we manage our copy links to improve platform performance. Copy links are now only really suitable for short-term sharing. For tutorials etc. a Project Page link should be used instead. We’ve updated all the links on our YouTube channel already and are making our way through the docs at the moment. Once that’s done we can update the tutorials here etc. If you let me know > [@domhnallohanlon](#): > > which links are you trying to remix? I should be able to get you the Project page link instead. ---

Hey @tobi you have to look at the top of the screen when you find a remixed project. ---

> [@Thg](#): > > Are some links reset With the new system _all_ links are reset after 60 days. The intent now is that copy links are for sharing a “snapshot” of your project directly with another person i.e by email or messenger. For places like the community, where you want to share your work with a wide audience and for an indefinite amount of time, the the project page link should be used. ---
