The contributed unit section on the freepascal site does not work anymore. Can someone please have a look and fix this? Is there an alternative link available?

The location of the page changed, and there's an "alternative" link available on the front page of http://www.freepascal.org under "Contributed units".

While we are there. The "Toolbox" sponsor logo on the right. The Toolbox Magazine has been sold long ago to a new publisher. The "toolbox magazine" as we knew it, doesn't exist any more... they don't publish Pascal/Delphi related articles any more. Is that logo still needed on the free pascal website?

Well, that is exactly the link I'm talking about.
Clicking on this link will open an new page, the title is shown, but no information. The browser shows an error occurred on the page.

Something else. The new page looks nice, but you can't select text and do copy-and-paste? Also I think somebody might need to go through that info and see what doesn't exist any more. I just randomly picked one, "File manager with sources in FPC". Can't copy and past any of the description text. Also the link http://fc.freepascal.org/ doesn't exist - I just get a "the connection has timed out" error in my browser. There are many more like this.

It worked fine for me in Mozilla, but after I saw your user-agent, I tried MSIE (9.0) and while I don't get any error messages, nothing shows.

The swpat logo also seems to be outdated and brings you to a general FFII page.

I can confirm that it works with Opera, Firefox and Chrome browsers.
